leverage! if I remember correctly, the drive was one item, but also a bar and using the lower or upper arm for leverage with a breaker bar or something similar as used with a mini-floor jack.

the only thing that I can remember which needs an impact wrench is the two screws that hold the rotors on - or else, you'll have to drill them out and get replacements at ~30 cents each or not use any at all.

.... you sure you're turning the "right" way? (clockwise as you look into the wheel well)

Lots of penetrating oil (3-in-1 oil, several small applications each time) overnight (I think this was key), plus long box-end wrench and hammer. I'll still buy the other suggested tools though to have on hand for future situations. I am sure they would have made the job easier. Thanks again all.
