3) Impact wrench and at least 120lbs.
Haha I didn't have to do any of that. Mine came apart easy as pie. And they were the rears no less, original calipers. haha Yeah, I noticed when we got to the hotel that there was alot of brake dust on my left rear wheel, and by the time I left work on monday the inner pad was down to the metal, and the right rear bad has been so frozen up that even the piston doesn't move for a long time. Anyways, new calipers, rotors, and pads are on and working great, so I'll probably come out.
