Default Help, Brake Bolt Seized

Need help. Have one darn brake caliper bolt, mounting bracket, froze up. Tried wd 40, liquid wrench, cheeter bar, 160 #'s on air wrench. THhs is one of the two main bolts for each bracket.

Next move "heat" on the bracket? Before I screw something up looking for advice.

THanks in advance.

Yes your right on with the heat. Factory use liberal amount of thread locker with the 125lbs of torque. Heat that sonbitoch up until its red then she'll break loose.

Let us know how you make out.
