If the rotors are rusted in place on the hubs...then try the WD-40 or PB Blaster, etc and as long as the rotors are going to be replaced....just hit them with a hammer on the inside surface and work them off the hub.

Front shocks are no trick....be sure to put a jack under the control arm to help out.

on the shocks... i put my shocks back in prior to cutting the shipping strap... bolt in the top, then cut the strap and guide the bottom into place, use a large screwdriver or small prybar to push up enough to insert the bolt.
