Why (Brake rotor removal)?
So I go to take my rotors off today and I can't. Why? Because I don't have the biggest phillips screw driver known to man. Why the hell are those brass bolts in the calipers? Why can't they be free floating???

Yep the impact driver takes the out with ease, if not your likely to strip them b4 the come out.
Brass bolts? Where?
Caliper is held on with 14mm hardware if I remember right, the pads are guided by Pins, that are retained by the wire clip on the back of the caliper.

Their much better than free floating calipers, you can change the pads in less than half the time. No need to remove the caliper to change the pads either.
Pads, springs, pins, safety clip…. Simple as pie

Changing the pads on the Wilwood SL6 calipers on the front of my FD require removing 2 small bolts. Pull the bolts, replace the pads, put the pins back in.

Obviously you haven't read my brake job writeup -

You need an impact screwdriver my friend. About $6-7 at Harbor Freight, or about $20 at Sears if you don't have an HF in your area.

Might as well throw away your box end wrenches and just use Channel locks and vice grips
