I have never removed the rotors from the front, and I cant get neither of the anchor plate bolts loose. I have let them soak all day and even put a jack under the breaker bar handle to break them lose but nothing.

Anybody got any tips, I dont have an impact unfortunately and I sprayed it some more gonna let it soak overnight and try it again tomorrow.

Try KROil from Kanolabs. This is one product that actually does everything it says. It even flows uphill.

If someone used Red Loctite, it may take heat to break it free.

How long is the breaker bar you are using? Have you tried a cheater pipe?

Mine is about 24" long and w wheel turned all the way opp direction I dont really have room for any extra leverage.

Went to a couple yard sales w wifey this morning and picked up an impact wrench for $10 (harbor freight brand) but I hit the pass side with it, after a few hits got the lower bolt loose, kept hitting the top, no luck so broke out the breaker bar again and got the top bolt.

Still working on drivers side, hit those w PB blaster, soaked impact no luck, breaker bar no luck w either, allmost stripped lower but its still biting with the impact so I banged the hell out of if and soaked it in spray and will try it again tomorrow.
