I just did my brakes (4 wheel disks) last weekend.. and i had sort of the same troubles. It took me like 3 hours to do the brakes when it should have only taken like 1. I did them myself , the only trouble i found was that the bottom "sliders" on each caliper were seized. I didnt have trouble with the bolts though.. remember lefty loosey righty tighty
<BR>WD40 might work, but you would want to clean off the bolts completely before you put them back in<BR>lemme know how it goes

yeah those sliders are a pain I took mine out twice already to clean them but the back ones are so far gone I'm going to buy new ones [Sliders are a Pain]
