Front Brake Pads

Just finished my front brake pads and took the car for a spin. All is well no funny noises and it stops like normal.

1 problem though. The front driver side caliper I could not get off the bottom bolt seems to be seized up. I actually cracked the 14 MM socket trying to get it off. Its not such a big problem now as it will be later. Not to mention I also found a few spots of damage I was never told about when getting the car. Damn car salesmen why you no honesty.

Anyhow thanks to the DIY section and the people that made the write ups. Next on my list is the Diff oil which seems like it will be a lot less time consuming and much easier than the pads.

Also any suggestions on the seized up bolt?

Oh and as for the damage I found. There is a small plate sized hole in the plastic in front of the driver side front tire just above the "gills", it looks as if maybe it caught on fire, was cut out, or maybe a decent sized debris got rolled in to it and cut through it. Will try to get pictures tomorrow.
