I bought another car, a good Chevy Lumina. Not much wrong with it. But the brake caliper doesn't want to come off. It looks like a mess. I'd prefer to buy a new caliper, but my dad says it'll be fine once we get it off and work at it. I'm not confident in him because he doesn't even want to replace the seat belts. They're frayed! Those things won't hold me. I'd rather get it to a professional automechanic, but if he can fix it then that's more money staying in my wallet.
I wouldn't be surprised if a bolt breaks as soon as we try to break it down. It's ugly. I had problems with it earlier (wheel wouldn't turn). It's the rear driver side, so that's typical. We even took an air hammer to it. That thing wouldn't budge.
It's that kind of car that can last a long time without much trouble. I'd rather keep this than buy a brand new one.
So, do you think what my dad said is right: once we get the caliper off, he can clean it up and it will be fine? Or should I just replace the caliper? (er, assuming we actually get it off)
