The pins are notoriously difficult at times to remove. Short of removing the caliper, I don't know what to do except maybe try an impact wrench..... If you remove the caliper, you can soak the pin in WD-40 or Liquid Wrench. Mike Golding (Corvette Pilot) (mike@thepowdercoater.com) may have some ideas.

I am not familiar with Z06 brakes, but with regular C6s, you have to use two wrenches - one for the pin bolt and the other for the inside collar. Otherwise, the pin will just spin.
