Hi all,

I'm pretty new to car stuff. I have a S13 that was passed down to me. It's in relatively good condition but needs tires, brakes, rotors, calipers, and all new fluids

Brake pads and rotors are arriving today, but I've run into a couple issues with the calipers:

1 - Almost every single caliper bolt has broken during removal. They've been super hard to remove. Any advice to make this a bit easier?
2 - The bigger easier here is that so far I've had at least 1 caliper bracket bolt break off inside the right hand rear knuckle. How screwed am I?

From what I've looked up I've figured that I need to remove the entire knuckle and try to extract the bolt, or replace the entire knuckle.

Does this sound pretty spot on?

Thanks!
