Oh, but I have... 30 years here (Cambridge and Southern NH) and every one of mine and many of my friends have been done by me.

Air tools, acetone/ATF mix, and a propane torch are your friend at times.

If you have any of that, it really help! I end up going with channel-locks and a six-foot pole.

I had better tools, but definitely used the cheater bar on the caliper bolts. I'm not a pro like sokoloff. ATF, acetone and a torch? Brrr

You forgot your 4lb baby sledgehammer to "encourage" the rotor to pop off :)

Yup. Bad memories for sure. That's why I love the makers who put threaded holes in two places on the rotor into which you insert bolts and press the rotor off with the bolts. Honda does it; I can't remember if Mercedes does it consistently or not.

Thanks for the reminder about those! I helped change brakes on a friend's... Accord (I think) and remember being delighted to find those bolt holes. Unfortunately haven't encountered those since then on any of my vehicles.
