Rear Brake Replacement Problems

[Fierofool]

I need help, guys.  Physical help.  I am exhausted, having worked on the right side for about 6 hours.  I already replaced the right side rear brake pads, but I have a stripped caliper bolt head on the driver's side.  I don't have a torx bit to remove the cable bracket that surrounds the lower bolt head and I don't have a Torx Bit that will fit the bolt that holds the bracket on.  I believe if the bracket were removed, enough of the bolt head would be exposed to grab it with a big pair of vice grips. 

I have the car up on stands and that's where it will remain until fixed.  Can anyone give me a hand?

Hey, Dewey.  I just got off the phone with Pat.  He's coming over tomorrow afternoon and bringing some Torx bits and other tools.  If we can't get this thing off, it just might become the cheap Fiero you're looking for.  Five speed, 3.4 engine, leather seats, everything works.  'Cept maybe the brakes.

If all else fails, hit up harbor freight and purchase a left handed drill bit set. Drill it out.

I have an industrial grade set of removers http://www.gafiero.org/bbs/index.php?topic=1512.0  You may not be able to open the link unless you're signed in.    Getting into the area is difficult.  A ratchet with a torx socket is just a little too long to get a straight alignment into the bolt.  Pat and I discussed putting a jack underneath the control arm to maybe gain a little clearance.  With the suspension hanging, the control arm angles downward.  That drops the lower caliper bolt down enough that the control arm interferes. 

Pat says he has a good selection of torx bit sockets, so we may be able to get the bracket off.  If so, a pair of vice grips should be able to break the bolt loose.  It's surrounded by the e-brake cable bracket.
