Re: Volkswagen Brakes....

I was turning them, like I said, I had the right tools and everything. The vice was a last ditch effort, sometimes if you turn them then crank on them you can get them to compress. I ended up using a small screwdriver in the pin hole that had a dowel pin in it (or whatever its called) and doing 1/2 turn at a time and getting it to compress....but not after completely disassembling the caliper from the car, ebrake assembly, secondary fluid lines, etc...basically it was a wh0re of a job, but eventually I got it done and everything back together, save for one trashed bleeder valve. The thing was completely seized in the caliper, I'm lucky I got it out.
