I can't crack the rear caliper bolts on my recently acquired 240, which had been sitting in Illinois for a number of years. I've tried heat using MAP gas to no avail. Part of the issue is I can't get clearance for a breaker bar, this may be solved by getting the car higher up off the ground. Also, the coil spring is interfering with getting a ratchet properly seated on the bolt, has anyone resorted to removing the springs to gain better access? I was able to remove the front calipers no problem by turning the steering wheel and using a breaker bar.
Any other ideas would be great. My other cars are from the south and I'm starting to regret not holding out for a southern 240. Thanks.
