“Make sure to leave your lug nuts in a safe spot” LMAO!

YeechBlitz says:

The back bolts tend to get rusted from being splashed by water and heated
during braking. You can apply “liquid wrench” (or other penetrating oil) to
the bolt and threads, then tap the bolt lightly with a metal hammer to work
the oil into the threads. You also can give repeated applications every few
hours, waiting overnight for penetrating oil to work. You can also warm up
the calipers with a propane/butane torch to expand the metal that the bolts
are threaded into, and then try loosening it.

I have a really hard time pulling off the back bolts. Any advice on taking
them off?

The chiltons book for the ’99 GP shows the pad having a retainer clip like
Ford pads, yet mine has a setup identical to the model in this video. WTF?

Thanks dude, never did my brakes before but paying a shop $160 or doing
them myself for $40 was a no brainer, used your vid as a walkthrough, was a
20 minute job…..thanks man.
