Yes; it's actually more for the rears. I can't seem to find a picture, but you can't miss it in the brake-related tools end of the tool display. Look for a cube with pins on multiple sides and a 3/8 socket hole.

Granted you already got it off, you could have blow torched it too.
Always use a breaker bar. Granted i live in cali now I'm from michigan the land of rust. I have a blown out shoulder that will never heal because of years of being in a lower bay and not having breaker bars. Strength has nothing to do with it. If it's hard to get off use leverage.

I'll probably get that cube tool mentioned above. I don't think I'll be able to do it just using needle nose pliers. Hand injuries are no good.
