Front brake rotor help!!!!!

[LTO-B]

Hello, I have a 79' Bronco and need to replace the front brake calipers. My problem is I can't get the allen head bolts on the retainer cap loose. Any body know of a trick to get them out before I end up stripping the heads. I have sprayed them down several times with break free. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, LTO-B([email protected])

I had to drill the head off of one of mine. Just get the drill bit to fit directly in the retainer hole. Once the head was off I was able to unscrew the bolt portion of it by hand. I guess the metal just oxidized around the head.

soak it down with some PB Blaster penetraiting oil really well, another trick is to tap on the head with a hammer to try and break some of the rust or whatever loose, just dont go crazy when hitting it, just a few swift taps
