Grease before install: use proper Anti sieze....
Get into this habit now. I am now to the point where i'm ripping into areas where i've previously worked, and gosh is it nice when there isn't any stuck bolts despite years of mag chloride attack.

thx for the suggestions folks. gotta get some anti-seize, bigger breaker, and try again next week.
i only pulled a couple of the pads on the front side out, so i just put everything back and pumped the brakes to set the pads back.
As an aside, it gives me a chance to get some good brake cleaner too. When I bought the ar last year, it had a torn cv boot on that side an had slung grease all around that area for some time. The boot is fixed now, but the grime is coated pretty thick.
Without disconnecting everything, what's the best way to get to that 90% clean level?

I used a large pipe and leveraged it perpendicular to the breaker bar.
For the left side use something like a hockey puck to protect the underside of the car so you can leverage against it.
