i made sure the Alen key bolt hole was well cleaned out so the Alen key is deep into the bolt hole these bolts are big so may take a bit of cracking if these discs have been on a very log time you will need to be pacent but they should give up
may be some heat but im not experienced in that area ,!

Morning , YES red rubber grease ONLY on caliper seals , anything else causes rubber to swell / deteriorate /disintegrate . Ceramic for any rubbing /mating faces , with molybdenum as a second best
You really are better off using a allen key type socket fitted to a breaker bar as these bolts can require a lot of torque from you to release them . I have resorted to a cordless impact gun as a last resort on one vehicle , that was fun as the thread in the hub stripped and required helicoiling
