Getting Brake Calipers Off

Does anyone have any tips for getting the calipers off? The front driver side ones weren't that bad but passenger side itn't budging, any ideas? Plus, the only way i got the the front ones off with a 3 foot torque bar, was by turning them all the way to a side, how do you get the rear ones off?

Thanks
~Luke

Does WD-40 work the same as liquid wrench?

Just a stab in the dark, but did you make sure you released the hand brake?? If so, loosen the brake fluid bleeder valve, this will release the hydraulic pressure on the pads and the caliper will move pretty easily after that.
