Caliper help. Jeep on jack
 
Hubby is trying to replace the suck caliper on my 04. He can't get the bolt off the bracket. Any help?

been there, done that. He needs to spray pb blaster, white lithium, brake cleaner etc etc on it and beat it with a rubber mallet. Without some kind of solvent and vibration it won't come out. If that doesn't work heat it CAREFULLY with a torch.

This ^^^

Also when heating with the torch heat around the bolt not on it. Also try a big *** pipe on the wrench.

Good luck

Chrysler put loctite on them.A good breaker bar or an impact will get them off.

Ok got it off, but didn't solve my problem.
Symptoms are wobble at 45-50 mph and slight pull to left.
What we have done
Just replaced caliper bracket it had a stuck glide,
Had alignment and balance,
Did brake job,
Replace tire rod end.

Any ideas it is driving me crazy !!!!

Stock or lifted?

You might have a seperated tire. Swap the front tires from side to side and see if the pull changes sides.
