lol I dont think I need pictures I am pretty sure most people know what a rotor looks like and caliper lol. Ok, so now that I
have the right direction (thanks for the humor socks) I still can not get the bolts loose. I do not have access to a torch, or air
tools. And I am having better luck breaking my hand then breaking the bolt loose. I used pb blaster on it but still didnt help

Well here since you didn't understand let me make it dummy proof. On our calipers (Tiburon) there are 2 bolts that enter
into the caliper and hold it on. In the Nissan there are 4 bolts that enter the caliper and hold the caliper together. The
difference is, on the Nissan you don't touch the caliper bolts to get it off. There is actually 2 larger bolts the sit behind the
caliper and are connected to an extension that comes off of the caliper that hold it on. Since you are on the driver side and
not facing the bolt you have to turn the bolt clockwise, thus there is no leverage in that area. Since you have to push
upwards and not downwards. Not trying to offend anyone, I just thought I made it pretty clear since I even posted the DIY
to show what bolts I was talking about, that needed to be removed.

I thought my directions were pretty clear...
Try turning the driver's side wheel all the way right. With the car jacked way up (You need an actual shop style floor jack. The tire jack won't do), put your breaker bar, wrench or whatever on the bolt so that the handle is pointing down. Now push toward the front of the car. If you have to, kick it with your foot.
On the passenger's side, turn the wheel left. Again, with the car up high, put the bar on with the handle pointing down. Now, sit down grab the bar with both hands and yank towards you as hard as you can.
Make sure the car is stable and on at least one and preferably two jackstands.
If this doesn't work, open the wallet and tow it to a shop or buy/rent a 1/2"impact.

use a breaker bar, itll come loose..
if you have a DIY, why are you asking us? its straightforward and simple.
breaker bars are your friend, or impacts of course, but i dont use impacts.
