Question - how much to have springs/shocks/thrust arms/front rotors installed?

Decided to take advantage of good weather and start w/ front rotor swap. After many tries & a can of WD40 - I gave up on trying to break the brake pad carrier bolts (which are torqued at 81 ft-lbs).

Considering that the thrust arm (one of my upgrades) requires 94 ft-lbs - I do not think I will be able to break these without an air rachet (which I don't have).

Its either buy an air compressor & hope I can do the job or take it somewhere. TIA.
