Message	with the original rotors on it. They were so rusted on it wasn't even funny. Rubber mallet did nothing. Beating on it with a metal hammer until my ears were ringing did nothing. Torch for minutes at a time did nothing. Torch + hammer did nothing. Left the thing on jack stands overnight, went to the hardware store to find screws for those holes to pop them out. Then the brake lines were impossibly stuck and just wanted to strip. Finally got them with vise grips but I've still yet to hear of a 2 day brake job...
