    Default 85 front disc brake removal

    started in on the front disc brakes on my 85 gt. removed the hoses then tried to get the caliper sleeve bolts out but will only come so far and then stops.....in the back I can't pull the sleeve bolts out far enough to get the caliper off and it looks to me that the sleeve bolts themselves have cleared the spindle, but not amount of anything I've done so far is able to get them out.....I took a couple of pictures and will post as soon as I figure out how to post them........I don't know what the secret is for the next step......any help is appreciated?

    Sometimes the pins get stuck in the rubber

    shoot a bunch of penetrating fluid like PB Blaster in there and leave it overnight

    Youll have to clean the crap out of the rubber and grease and polish the caliper pins before trying to reassemble
