Frozen Caliper Bolts - Thanks

[Michael Williams]

Thanks for the advice Scott. I didn't need to incorporate all of it but
basically got through it yesterday with a 2 ft long pipe on the end of a
box end wrench and YES patience. I went to work on the right side this
morning all full of the victory from yesterday only to find that the
right side wheel lugs were frozen worse than the left side. All 4 would
not move. I addition to using "my" 180 lbs of torque the lug wrench that
came from Audi snapped making me wonder "exactly how much torque did
they use when the shop changed the tires ?!?!?!?" Anyway getting past
the right wheel was the most difficult but getting the caliper off today
was alot simpler with the experience from yesterday and the advice from
everyone.
I think in pushing the piston back in I may have found the small brake
fluid leak I was looking for. I think it is originating from the MC
where the plastic reservoir connects to the main part of the cylinder.
Fix one thing then on to the next, but hey this is 12 yr old Audi and
its fun
Thanks guys
