I have removed these rotors at least six times in the past, and only had trouble once before. Now, bolts holding on caliper (located behind rotor facing out) will not budge. Tried both top and bottom bolt with no success. Is there a special tool, method for removing these calipers.

I had this same problem with mine all I had top do was get a lil muscle on it. Like an impact wrench or a pry bar. The problem is most likely is that either they got to stiff when they sat for awhile or there rusted but all u need is myuscle.

Impact wrenches are awesome. You can muscle a bolt all day long with a 10ft pole for added leverage and have no success. A good impact will either loosen the bolt or break it in a second. I highly recommend air tools from IR.
