It may not be as bad as it looks. I had to clean some rust off, soak the caliper bolts and the rotor set screws with PB Blaster, put it all together and wait a couple days, then take the wheels off again, and with a second application of the penetrating oil the screws came out.
Surface rust does not mean the threads are rusted solid, and the set screws are tiny and do not use much torque.
I read both the Haynes manual and one of Dean's posts before I dived into it. Here are some of my pics and notes along with a list of tools used:

Good luck!
