You guys make it look soooo easy! But I'll be darned if I can't break loose the 13mm bolts holding the bracket onto the axle. Everything was smooth sailing up until that point, but the rotors are stuck if I can't get the brackets off. All the bolts are on there (each side) unbelievably tight.

Get a long breaker bar with a 13mm socket on it and use some muscle. It'll eventually break loose.

Or you could purchase a good quality penetrating fluid and let it sit for half an hour or so.

Thanks for the reply! Ended up just having to replace the pads, but for future reference.
