I honestly didn't check how much went in so totally my fault at this point. Expensive lesson learned.

Thanks HoosierJeeper. I'm blown away that nothing I've come across mentions this at all. Even after hearing about the freeze plugs I'm not finding people talking about removing them for a coolant flush or about the change in mix ratio if they aren't removed for draining. Super frustrated...

So the mechanic said the engine was completely hydrolocked. Said they couldn't turn the crank even a quarter of an inch even after removing the fan belt (in case the water pump was frozen). He said their gauge showed that the coolant was only rated to 0 degrees. I said that I just flushed it...

It's at a mechanic now and apparently all of them up north are inundated with cars that are dying and are also backed up b/c of the holiday break. Forgot to mention that the second time the car started up and went full hot she said that there was a clicking sound. She just spoke to one...

Thanks Adam, I sprayed some PB blaster on it and am letting it sit. I've even hit the wrench with a dead blow and can't get it moving. I'll let it sit overnight and see what happens tomorrow. Can't get a breaker bar behind the wheel since I'm using the standard jack the car comes with...

Hi, First time post and have searched around first but don't see this specific issue. Sorry if this is already resolved elsewhere. I'm trying to do the front brake pads and can't get the bolts off that hold the caliper on. Not the caliper housing that holds the pads but the bolts that hold...
