If you do need to change the rotor in the future, remove the same bolts you were trying to take off before.

What I did was turn the steering wheel full right if I'm removing the driver's side caliper brakcet, or turn the steering wheel full left for the passgener's side caliper bracket...this way I can use a 3ft long breaker bar to get them loose and still have room for my torque wrench that's 2 ft long to torque it down.
Awesome. Now I see what you are talking about. For anyone else that wants more details, here is a M3 E9X DIY that explains a similar procedure as well http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...highlight=pads.

Cheers.
