The front disks on my NSX needed to be replaced after some tough track days.
While the RH side came out after a few knocks with a plastic hammer, the LH side didn't move at all even after squirting a fair dose of W40.
My local mechanic said I had to hit it harder but not only didn't I like the idea but on top I didn't have access to an elevator to reach the disk from under the car.
The solution came by securing an old rear disk to the bolts of the front wheel and then squeeze the two disks together with an appropriate tool.
As the rear disk inner whole diameter is smaller than the hub, it provides a good base to pull the front disk out.
Here's a picture of the set-up and the condition of the pads and disks.
