skysurfer Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I am trying to remove my front O/S brake caliper but the retaining bolt is seized. Has anyone any ideas on how to remove it. Unfortunately I can't help you with the seized bolt. Is this the bolt that the caliper rotates about when you are changing the disc pads? (I assume you know the hydraulic piston has to be "screwed" back and not just pushed back when you're changing the pads?) I've done 125,000 of the 192,000 miles on my Xantia and the only work in that area has been changing brake pads, off side ABS sensor, the near side anti-roll bar drop link (twice) and the height adjuster "dog bone" link. (Didn't really need it but the rear one had worn out, so I changed the front one as well). I was wondering what has happened, that you need to remove the caliper? Quote
