When I push the brakes to stop it stops as if I slammed the brakes even with the littlest push slams the brakes.

It sounds like you have a brake booster that has gone bad or one of the brake pads has fallen apart causing the locking. Can you tell me if you have checked the brake and are okay? If so and all okay here are diagrams and instructions to change the booster out. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Can you do me favor and jack the front and see if the wheels spin freely? Then do the same with the rear and report back. Here is a guide to help you safely raise the car:

Please run down this guide and report back.

So I was changing the calipers and I striped the caliper mounting bracket. Any help on how to change that?
