Caliper bolt bracket
Hi I just purchased a new rotor for my car and now I am having a hard time taking of the bolt bracket for the caliper, I only used breaker bar and it wont bulge. Haven't tried using an impact wrench yet but I will do once I get it. Are those bolt torque to yield and if yes what are the specifications. Do I replace the bolt too after I take it off or I can reuse it? If yes to replacing it, does anybody know the part number for the rear and front bolt?

I've never heard any warning about not reusing bolts for these locations.
Last time I removed a caliper carrier to replace rotors (not on a Camaro) I used my 18" breaker bar with an impact socket. I use the top half of the handle for my floor jack as an extension to give me about a 36" lever. The floor jack handle is basically a steel tube about 1.25" diameter. ID is just big enough to slide over my breaker bar. With this much torque I would strongly recommend an impact socket over a conventional one. |

They are reusable; see the relevant fastener torque specs below.

The front bolts broke loose with an 18” long, 1/2” drive Titan Tool ratcheting breaker bar.

Not sure what kind of thread locker they use at the factory but they are tight, I had to use a large breaker bar to get mine busted loose also. I used blue locker putting back together.
