Message	Make sure you save some knuckle skin for the bolts that hold the brake calipers on. 19mm in the front, 17mm in the back- and the bottom bolt on the back calipers is a BEE-YATCH! -John P :Trying to paint my brake calipers, but for the love of God. I can't get these lug nuts to budge. I even risked breaking the bolt by standing on the damned wrench but still no go...and I'm 210 pounds. :Tried a little simple green, but still nothing. :Any advice.
