Ended up not being a big deal. I just put my 24" breaker bar on it with the 36mm socket and broke them loose pretty easily.
BTW...the nuts on mine were actually not 36mm. The 36mm fits, loosely, but the proper size was a standard, not metric.
I put the new ones back on with the same breaker bar and make the torque feel the same as it felt trying to get the old ones loose. Later on, my father brought his Snap-On 600 ft/lbs heavy equipment torque wrench up to my house and we set it to 250 and double checked my "by feel" setting.
The new Powerstop Z26 rotors and pads are wicked. Car stops on a dime now.
I will save up money and do the rear this summer.
