BTW -for your task, WD-40 (Water Dispersant) is ineffective. Try PB Blaster or better, Kroil from Kano Labs.

Are these the original screws that came on the car or had they been changed before? Just asking as my front rotors did 100k miles (gasp!) before I swapped them and the screws came out without too much difficulty.

Water Displacement, actually, and it's far from "ineffective". It is a penetrating lubricant with anti-corrosion properties and has been used for breaking seized, corroded, rusted bolts for decades...and for good reason. It works.
Why, just the other day I used it to break loose an O2 sensor after a 2 minute soak.
Kroil and PB work well, too.

Don't just parrot what some internet guy said once.
The whole "it's not a lubricant" lie is getting really old.

"The whole "it's not a lubricant" lie is getting really old."

--they might have meant "...for in the bedroom."
