5' cheater bar and a 3/4" breaker bar.

run the car when your helper hits the brakes, power assist.

Why are you taking the axle nut of to take the rotors off you should be able to pull them without taking the axle nut off. Once the caliper is off you should be able to pull them off. If they are stuck there is a threaded hole you can screw a bolt into to pop them free. Or a hammer with light taps around the hub will break the rust free.

no need for the power assist. the thread hole worked fine
