Patrick,
I increase the pounds per square inch on my socket. I
actually use 5/8" impact socket, a long 1/2" breaker
bar (someting like this: <http://tinyurl.com/36djw2>
I have a piece of pipe which adds length.
I have a 3 foot pry bar which I install between two
wheel studs after I have protected the threads. I
temporarily secure the pry bar to the wheel studs so
it doesn't slip off (ouch). I rotate the wheel so
that the pry bar will stop on the garage floor as I
remove a bolt from the brake disc. This is time
consuming as things have to be rotated and readjusted
as I move from bolt to bolt.
Re-installation of the brake disk is the reverse of
removal. I use a "Spanish Windlass" consisting of a
length of rope and a bit of metal when it's time to
move the DeDion tube together. (It all reminds me of
the old Bob Newhart sketch, Bomb on a Beach. - "You
don't have tool AB-675 to remove the disarming cover,
Willard? Well, try using a dime.")
