I am finally chaning my front and rear springs. However, I can't seem to get the front bolts to move that connect the brakes. I can't lower the A-arm until they are off. Any suggestions. Thanks.

Get a breaker bar and pull your heart out. You may try using an air impact if you have one. Spraying a little penetrating lube on the bolts helps as well.

I'm just surprised that the front brakes are so hard to remove. I have the back springs already on and the car looks like it is about to take flight since I can't get the front springs in yet. I'll just let it soak overnight and try tomorrow.
