Sheesh...one wonders what you *feed* your women...Mobil 1?
Here's what I did to remove that stubborn bolt (warning...BE CAREFUL).
Put the car up on a jackstand...put your wrench over the bolt, so the shaft of the wrench is horizontal. Take the jack, and place it under the wrench, and start "jacking up the wrench". Make DAMN sure the wrench sits squarely on the bolt, because if you aren't paying attention, you'll round off that bolt in no time. Once the wrench has been moved about 1/8 turn, you can remove the jack and do the rest by hand. Another warning...make sure you are applying the force in such a way as to LOOSEN the bolt! Righty tighty, lefty loosy only applies if you're looking at the head of the bolt...if the head of the bolt is not facing you, then you'll obviously have to do some mental gymnastics to figure out which way to turn the bolt! :-P

Nevermind synthium...just read your post again...
You already got the 7mm bolts off...so WHAT won't come off? Rotor? Probably rusted on, whack it with a hammer. Caliper stuck...tap it gently with a 2x4 or something that won't damage it.

You are gonna need to spread the pads away from the caliper
Use a large screwdriver to gently pry the caliper away from the pads. Leverage it against something you won't damage and it'll come easily then once the piston is pushed back in slightly.
