[V8] Back shocks & brakes

[bw at UDel.Edu]

I just broke free a bolt by slowly lowering the car from a hydraulic  pump while a 
long breaker bar and impact socket were held in place by a cement block.  We have 
allen key bolts there that can be extended with a pipe for a mechanical advantage. 
Could be risky, but it worked for me. I, also, have an impact driver. It's a blue 
mechanical device that you hit. It moves a few degrees with each blow.
 I always use a big C clamp to retract the brake pistons. I can turn the swivel head 
at the end of the screw threading the piston back into the caliper while closing the 
clamp bit by bit.  Bob
