Drill it out and replace the caliper if you can afford to.

Fuck man I had that problem on my ex's f150. Worse part is when you turn the ratchet too hard and it shatters, shards of bullshit fall into the cylinder.

>>16082286
Cant afford it, gonna try a torch on the bracket

>>16082288
fuck that really sucks. it got to the point where i welded a M14X1.25 plug tap on the end of an extension and kept a small box of thread inserts nearby whenever i did any tune-ups on the older triton motors.

>>16082314
that could work.

got access to air? get an air chisel and zap it out.

>16 previous owners
That's all I have to say

Slide hammer + vice grips. Also wire wheel once you get it out.

TORQUE WRENCH

>>16082282
I always use antiseize compound and a torque wrench on my spark plugs.
Never had a single problem.

I've tried the vice grips as well, just had to buy a new bracket unfortunately

they sold me the wrong bracket.. back to autozone. Why does this happen?

>>16082515
unfortunately, not everyone does that.

>>16082260
I broke SEVEN out of EIGHT lugs on the driver's side on my Miats. That, in addition to the built-up stress of the shitty town and shitty schedule and shitty people I had to deal with in addition to my own incompetence, resulted in three dents appearing above the wheel arches.

>tfw the owner tries to replace their crank seal, but they crack the timing cover instead

I can't really complain about a 15 hour ticket though.

>spend 3 hours with a torch, mallet and screwdriver trying to get the slides out.
>give up, buy a new bracket and have it all back together in 10 minutes.
I should be less stubborn next time huh?

Never met a bolt that beat heat
