Default Caliper bracket

Hey y'all a 97 4x4 caliper bracket bolts, anyone try to get them off? What did u use? I tried a breaker bar but it moves the truck too much for up on jack Stands, tried impact but it doesn't budge. Thanks

when i took mine off while doing my lift it took a cheater pipe over a breaker bar and make sure when putting it back on to use threadlocker on the threads cause its not a good day when the bolts come going down the road at 70 mph don't ask how i know that lol

Are you sure your trying to remove the right bolts? When I took mine off it wasn't that hard, maybe a smack or 2 with a hammer on the ratchet to break it loose

My Mechanic said he'd do it for 25 a side. So 50$ to just do it for me. Hell use thread lock and since it's 100+ out I'm done tryin.
