Well now I have a problem. The new calipers I ordered from rockauto.com came in and now I realize why they were so cheap. They only came with the side of the caliper that has the pistons in it and remember that the reason I ordered the calipers was because I couldn't get my driver side caliper apart for rebuild. So now I'm basically just in the same place I was in before stuck with a bolt that won't come off. I'm going to try a couple things tomorrow (borrow some tools from a friend) and see where it gets me.

Q: The new calipers of course have all new stuff in them. The piston's have the rubber boot around them in the inside, but I noticed that there is a metal snap ring around the base of the rubber boot that surrounds the pistons. Do I remove this before installation? It just seems ODD that is there unless it is there in an attempt to hold the rubber boot along the length of the piston as it extends during braking. Comments?
