Help with brake pad replacement.

[Swank]

I was trying to replace my rear brake pads on my 2007 Civic today and ran into a rotten problem. There's a bolt holding the brake line in place that needs to be removed, and it bolts into a nut that is welded in place. The weld snapped, now the bolt just spins. The weld on the nut makes it an odd shape that I can't grip with anything I have. Is there anyone that would like to help me out before I hemorrhage money at the dealership? I can come to you any night this week (except tonight). It's probably just a matter of having the right tool, I'm stumped. PM me, we can work out a price for your time.

TIA

I'am home till Jan 16th if you need a hand pm me. Why you had to touch that bolt is beyond me. Done lots at the dealership.

Appreciated . I'm getting the feeling that not all 8th gens are the same. There is not enough slack in the rubber brake line to pull the caliper off the disc without taking that bolt off. I pried as far as I could before damaging the brake line became a concern. 403civic and I will give it a go tonight. I'll let you know how it goes.

See here @ the 9:15 mark
