but over here in new england mine were so badly rusted in that I had to use a dremel to cut them out and then use a drill to drill out one piece of the pin. It took me most of an entire day to get them out.

Ugh, I need to do mine (never done it before) and this is what I'm afraid of.

Also wondering about what people recommend for pads and rotors--the OP asked, but only got (from what I can see) Brembo blanks and Hawk LTS pads, and Duralast pads. Anyone else?

Mine were pretty badly rusted from all the Utah salt but after spraying on some liquid wrench and a few whacks with a deadblow they came off easy enough.
