Well the car beat me. I spent 3 hours on a frozen caliper bolt. I was going to rebuild all the calipers, but if the other 3 are anything like this 1st one (driver front) has been then I want absolutely nothing to do with rebuilding calipers. I've tried crescent wrench (both sides), socket, impact gun, air ratchet, and even used a hydraulic lift to turn the wrench and socket and all I got in the end was a rounded bolt head. This is the bolt that holds the caliper together, not the one (thankfully) that bolts it to the car.

Anyone have a suggestion for a caliper upgrade for an NA? I don't want to go crazy with it, but just something 1 step up from stock would be fine. I already have all the hardware and pads. I just need new calipers for front. I suppose I'm going to still try and rebuild the rear ones.

A/C Pulley wouldn't come off. I'm leaving that for a friend to do since he offered to help me recharge my system and put in another compressor for me. Sigh - this means I wait two weeks now till I get to resume work as I'm going out of town.
