...... really? little overly dramatic? I JUST did rear brakes on a e24 Bmw... I hope your heads ok! what happed? did you try using anything like WD-40 or PB blaster? I've done many jobs at home most projects can be done with a simple tool kit and to stay calm if something gets stuck! if you plan on doing a lot of work on your car I would invest into a good basic set of tools and a set of Breaker bars. I have craftsman tools cause if you break anything you can get it replaced no questions

and 140,000 on og rotors isn't to unreasonable if your a conservative driver and just turn the rotors each time...
