Caliper Adj. stuck
The e brake adj on my calipers are stuck, this is on a differential from a 95 so it has the PBR calipers. I tried getting it with a metric allen wrench and it just twisted the wrench

Re: Caliper Adj. stuck
i just wasn't sure if i should heat them or not, didn't want to melt something, but if you suggest that then i know i should be good.

Re: Caliper Adj. stuck
The threads are coated with adhesive, so a bit of heat will probably do the trick.

Get a better wrench (one that won't twist) or actually use a rachet and socket. The map gas torch does wonders too
