Yep, familiar. Most of the time I've been able to get them off with a breaker bar, but I was fortunate enough to have a neighbor with an air wrench a few years back. Did mine the other day--no problem (probably because it wasn't the first time. I did have to put together parts from 3 old calipers (including the one on there) in order to get a good one.
And, the circlip for the parking brake flipped off when I was putting it back on. Searched, swept, cussed, quit for the night. Searched, swept again, cussed several times. Finally sat down and scraped all the residue from the frame through the holes around the axle--into a box. Sure enough, the circlip (or one identical) showed up.
