Guys I just tried installing the dual piston caliper upgrade on my car and I hit a snag. The problem is that the caliper mounting bolts from the single piston calipers don't fit in the mounting brackets for the dual piston calipers. Am I just not tryin to thread them in hard enough for fear of breaking something (it is a dsm) or are the mounting bolts different sizes?

If your talking about the two 17mm head bolts (shown as hub mounting bolts below) that attach the bracket to the spindle, they fit but you many not have the bracket lined up.

If your talking about the guide and lock pins (shown as caliper mounting bolts below) on the caliper, they won't fit because the brackets for the single piston caliper and the bracket for the dual piston caliper are different. You need to use the matching caliper and bracket.

Yeah I was talking about the hub bracket bolts but I fixed that problem. Now I've hit a road block with tryin to get the rotor off on the drivers side. Its rusted in place. I've tried saturating in in PB Blaster and letting it sit over night, using bolts through the hub mount locations to force it off, a hammer, a bigger hammer and it still wont come off. Any suggestions guys. I tried finding a puller but none of the auto parts stores carry one big enough to fit over the rotor.
