lift the car high enough up so you can stand under neath it with a breaker bar, break the bolts holding the calipers. You only need to move it like an inch or two and then you can just get back at it with a regular ratchet. After that take the caliper off, then rotor.

You serious? If you don't break a stud, this is a maybe 20 minute job. Mine just fell right out with about 6 or 7 hits with the hammer.
