i am emoving the right side brake calliper of my argo becuase my dad took it for a trip last year not knowing the brake pads were gone on one side and the metal ate the rotor so i am trying to remove the calliper but i cant get the bottom bolt out even with vice grips latched on to the allen key.
If it is like my conquest.. you have to jack up the machine. You will need to turn the tires in order to turn the rotor so that the hole in the rotor lines up with the bolt you need to remove. Use allen key socket to remove bolt and spacers if equiped. I do the top then the bottom bolt. Once the caliper is off just pull pins, drop out old pad. Spread the caliper open and insert new pad and clips. Then install back, easier to do the top first then the bottom bolt. Don't forget the spacers.
yeah but the bolt wotn budge (bottom)
Assuming you are turning the bolt the right way, left side up and right side down, you could use a small piece of pipe as a lever extension or take the cut off piece and put it in a socket.
My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
Joe Camel never does that.
Advice is free, it's the application that costs.
