[Shotimes] Rear Bake Job

Right, I've had that happen.  I think I heated the caliper where the cable
goes through it and beat the cable out with a hammer, then a punch.  With
liberal soaking of PB Blaster or equivalent, it should come out.

But, I've never had any problems removing calipers or caliper brackets with
the e-brake cable attached so I don't quite understand what bolt you're
referring to.

I can't get the lower bolt on the caliper back in with the ebrake in.  I am 
able to get the end of the cable out of the spring, but where the cable 
travels through the caliper is frozen.  I will have to replace one of the 
calipers.
