1985 front rotor removal
Hey folks; need a little technical help here.
I'm removing and replacing a cracked driver's side front rotor on my '85GSL. I can't seem to get the caliper hanger off as the bottom bolt is "hidden" pretty well by the strut cartridge.
Am I not going at this correctly by trying to remove the bottom bolt of the caliper hanger before removing something else? This should be a 5 minute job; can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? It's tight in there and no chance to get a socket on it. What needs to come off to gain access? I haven't got my service manual yet and the factory one simply says "remove it".
Thanks!
John
