Ok so first thing....was going through and replacing the rotors on my Z, front one's were a breeze and just had to use a little force with a sledgehammer to knock the rotor loose as it looks like the rotors have never been replaced and were fused to the hub with rust. Went to the back rotors and that is where the problems began, aside from the rotors having the same rust issue i could not for the life of me get the bolts that hold the caliper to loosen up even after hitting them with liquid wrench and going at them with my 350lb/ft impact wrench. Would anyone else have any suggestions on how to go about getting those bolts out or should i just give up and take it to a shop?
