What to do? thanks   Tony Zuniga (Tony23007) Member Username: Tony23007 Post Number: 125 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Friday, June 27, 2003 - 11:33 pm:    Apply some WD-40 and tap it lightly with a hammer. More than likely is stuck really tight from all the dirt, corrossion and brake dust. I had to soak mine over and over again before it actually moved, also get a long wrench to get more pulling power and be carefull not to strip it or else your really screwed.   Robert Sublett (Rubisco98) Senior Member Username: Rubisco98 Post Number: 939 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Friday, June 27, 2003 - 11:49 pm:    PB Blaster will work wonders for ya.   Mark (Mistert) New Member Username: Mistert Post Number: 28 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Saturday, June 28, 2003 - 02:05 am:    Solved.
