Just replaced the front brake pads on my 2003 GLX this evening and the top bolt on the driver side caliper appeared to have siezed. After an inordinate effort I managed to get the bolt turning and undid it all the way, but still extremely stiff to remove. I gave up trying to get it out as I was runnning out of time. I'm not sure if it's corroded in the caliper or bent or .....?? Any thoughts? I also noticed that the inside face of the disk is scoured; the passenger side disk is fine.
I am thinking about fitting a Power Brake kit once these pads are shot, but still need to sort out this problem as i'm sure it will result in uneeven wear of the 2 pads in the caliper. I have previously used copper grease on the bolts for the calipers including the sliding pin sections of the bolts. Could this be a factor?
Thanks in advance, Gareth
