Had to quit wrenching early today as it was a gorgeous sunny afternoon and needed to go for a bike ride instead.
So, this morning I just removed the brake calipers and caliper carriers and got one brake rotor off with a BFH. The other three are on solid, so will need to go get some long bolts and nuts to create a press, and hopefully I can persuade them off from the back.
Also realized the bolts I reused for the new control arm bushings are supposedly stretch bolts and one-time-use only. Same for the rear caliper carrier bolts that were all rusted out anyway, so will have to spend tomorrow driving to the city to buy bolts from the dealer.

Oh, and I hit the paint chips with a touch-up pen. First time in five years. She might even get that coat of wax I've been meaning to do ever since I bought it.
