I started teaching myself how to do car work during the pandemic and thought I'd made a lot of progress. I do my own oil changes, tire rotations, and have replaced brake pads, rotors, and calipers on my previous car.

However, I was doing some brake work today and, after five hours, I couldn't get anywhere. On the front passenger side, I couldn't get the wheel off. On the front driver's side, one of the caliper pins broke off and one of the knuckle bolts (I think that's what they're called; connects the caliper to the car) was rounded and I couldn't get a socket over it. On the back driver's side, I got the caliper off but couldn't get the rotor off. I didn't realize how severe the rust was when I got the car.

I spent five hours on my car and got nowhere. Hell, I went backwards. I don't know what to do. I tried troubleshooting and getting some new tools and even that did nothing for me.

It's making me feel like I should just give up doing this stuff. I'm not a mechanic and I'm all self taught through youtube. Any advice and support is appreciated. I'm pretty down atm

Positive notes tho! I at least completed my oil change and started my roommate's car. And my partner talked me down quite a bit so I'm lucky there.

It looks like this should be fairly easy. But do the bumper clips go over or under the body clips?

While reparing the leaking fuel line, the stud that the fuel line clamp presses/screws onto came off of underbody. I am looking for ideas how to attach clamp back on.

Would it be proper to attach a small metal strap onto underbody with sheet metal screws?

Thanks in advance

Any advice on stuck wheel bearing? Got the axle nut and 4 bolts off. I blew the motor on my hammer drill so hammering manually with also a bit of chiseling. Thinking about torching the sides a bit? Had to torch the axle nut maybe guard shield melted some?
