caliper bracket bolts stuck

[guitarman540]

I was trying to replace my front discs and i couldnt get the caliper bracket bolts off. My friend was saying Ill need an impact wrench to get them off. Ive been soaking them in wd40 but nothings loosened. Do I really need an impact wrench or is there something else I can do to loosen them up?

How are u trying to loosen the by hand. Have you tried using pipe to help

 

[guitarman540]

I've just been using a ratchet

Use a pipe if your daring be care full tho you can strip it or break the head off the bolt

Also I don't mean to state the obvious but you are turning it the correct way? Remember if you are facing the disk you will be turning it backwards

i had to kick it when i changed mine

I've made sure I've been turning it the right way. I even broke a ratchet yesterday

What the... PB Blaster and a breaker bar is what you need.

how long is ur ratchet? I did mine recently and used this ratchet:
http://www.harborfreight.com/1-2-half-inch-extendable-ratchet-98831.html

the ratcheting gives me more room and this one is adjustable from 12-17 inches. **** I just realized it is rated for 400 ft/lb max. I didn't see that when I bought it.

Not trying to promote that item but the right tools really helps.
Yeah and make sure you turn the right way and maybe a little pb blaster.
