    Upgrading brakes, need help.

    05-15-2012 05:16 PM #1
    Upgrading the stock rear brakes on my 01 Jetta to a GLI setup. I have the carriers, calipers, new rotors and some nice HPS pads.


    NOW HERE'S THE PROBLEM:

    The carrier bolts. Those little 8mm ****heads of bolts. I've used a TON of PB Blaster and one of them was already previously stripped before I started the process....


    What else can I do? I have the car jacked up in the driveway working in the rain. No lift, and I have an impact wrench, but no way of getting it in there.


    HELP PLEASE!

    I've used a whole can of PB blaster, a hammer, vice grips, and even extraction sockets.


    NOTHING.
