Answer: Long breaker bar, PB blaster, and someone to hold the brake pedal down.

Unstake the nut, and with the wheel still on the car and vehicle on the ground, use a breaker bar and a pipe to get leverage. I only weight 145lbs or so, and I got mine off no problem doing this.

if you have air that works the best if not stick a screwdrive in the rotor against the caliper to keep the rotor from spinning then use a breaker bar ( jack handle ) for leverage.

leave tire on, ( steelie) put e brake on while car is on ground, then use the 32mm with a breaker bar, and put an extension on the end of the breaker bar. also, heat may be your friend.

I broke a 1/2 inch Craftsman breaker bar on one of mine..... It happens. Electric impact should take care of it.
