86 300D run-away engine

I have a 1986 124 300sd. I was changing out the glow plugs with the glow plug reamer kit available at MercedesSource, Awesome kit everything was a breeze lots of carbon build up. The problem arose on the test drive when the car accelerated uncontrollably! Upon close inspection I noticed that two hard fuel lines had been replaced, (by the previous owner) and in working the throttle linkage noted that ever so often the linkage rubbed on the fuel lines causing the throttle to stick in the open position.

1993 400E Rotor removal past calipers

I just purchased the listed car. 160K. Runs fine. The car is currently on the rack at a local shop. Needs brakes. Slight pulse on hard stop. The front caliper bolts are seized. I am writing to ask if you know if the rotors will come off with the caliper in place once the pads are removed? It looks like a close fit but I thought I would ask. If not do you know any tricks to get the bolts out?
