Where are the caliper bolts located on the firebird 1995?
The caliper bolts can be accessed from the rear of the caliper. After removing the tire you can view the recessed brake caliper bolts. You will need a large Allen wrench, as these are Allen head bolts. Consult your auto parts store for the proper size Allen wrench. Common toolbox wrenches will be far too small. I would advise to spray down with some WD-40 the night before. You should also make available a large hammer to hit the wrench and loosen the bolts, as it is an akward position to muscle the bolt free with a short wrench.

How can you repair a 2000 Dodge Dakota that's front brake rotors seem to be stuck?
I had stuck rear rotors on my 03 RAM HEMI 1500 and was able to remove them by doing the following. Spray penetating oil in any wheel stud cracks, center hub, and behind the rotor where it meets the hub. Use the new rotors for reference. Next, put a small 6mm or 7mm socket in the big caliper braket bolt holes. Put the caliper braket back in its stock location and screw in the caliper braket bolts, pushing the 6mm or 7mm socket's against the rotor using the guide holes which the caliper bracket bolts pass through. Torque all the way down both bolts. Next, use a C-Clamp from the rotor to the center hub in the front. Tighten as much as you can without breaking. Next, try to drive a screw driver into the back of the rotor where it meets the hub if there is a small gap. Next, douse in pepnetrating oil in the places mentioned above. Wait 5 minutes. Lastly, use a small sledge hammer to bang out the rotor. When installing new rotors, use a small amount of anti seize on the inside area of the rotors.
How do you push down the caliper on an 08 Honda accord?
There's a little screw on the side of the caliper with a whole in the top of it. Loosen that a little bit and you should just be able to push in the caliper. They make a tool which is basically a bar and a screw so the bar pushes on the mounting part of the caliper and the screw pushes on the caliper piston.
