thankfully never needed to try one, but there are such things as lug nut removal tools...

... but you may have tried that. I also imagine tire places have had to do that once in a while. taking the hub off w/o taking off the wheel first sounds too hard.

There are 2 caliper bolts to remove the caliper from the caliper bracket. Then there are 2 caliper bracket bolts that hold the caliper bracket to the suspension arm.

I do not believe you can remove the disc without removing the caliper bracket. You do not need to remove the caliper from the caliper bracket before removing the caliper bracket from the suspension arm to access the disc and remove it.

forgetting about the wheel bearing/hub that is holding the entire assy onto the axle.
