Removing Front Brake Rotors


Its not the rotor Im having trouble with, its the caliper housing on the rotor of my 2001 GT. I have all the tools I need, but those two bolts that hold that thing on are on so tight I cant even leverage them the LEAST. Has anyone used a motorized torque wrench for this or am I missing something stupid like the bolts are screwed on counterclockwise or something...BTW, I go to the gym 3 times a week and I work for UPS so no fucking 'weakling' comments, this question is only for people who have answers to it thank you.

Nevermind I got one, I could've pulled a fucking TREE out the ground with that much force...Just gonna be a long day thats all, sorry I guess all you assholes have no use for those smart-ass retarded wisecracks you woulda used...maybe next time. Beyond that, the stainless steel brake lines...I may check back later if I still need help but is it easier to just disconnect the stock lines, drain all the fluid and then fill it up with new fluid when I get the assembly on? Seems easier..Ill probably do that. Later.

Hey man yeah those bolts on my car were a bitch!! And i did the ss brake lines and love em, the brakes are going to feel a lil different at first but once you get used to it there are great!!! And you also might want to do a pressurized bleed on your brakes, i fought with it for a while and then gave up!! Got it done for 20 bucks!! Good luck!!
