Also, update on the subframe itself, I managed to get one end or another of all the arms off one wheel carrier. The rotor still will not come off. I don't think it's the parking brake because they can turn freely, and I can also wiggle the cable on each and feel the mechanism move. I also tried turning the star wheel and it didn't help the rotor budge. I think it's just rust. I squirted some Kroil on and left it. Guess I'll try a torch tomorrow? I'm about ready to just take the whole wheel with arms, rotor and the brake cable hanging off it to my indy and pay him to get all that junk off, plus do the wheel bearing. 
Also, I'm adding a workbench to my Christmas wish list! I've been crouching on the floor all day and I feel like I've been hit by a bus!
