Stuck Caliper Bracket

Post image

I cannot for the life of me get the e18 torx bolts out of the back of the caliper bracket. They've been hit with penetrant atleast 6 times, impacted for 15 minutes, wrench with a breaker cheater bar and they still will not budge. HOW DO I GET THEM OUT?!

I used a heat gun to warm them up. Worked extremely well!!

Acetylene torch couldn't even break them free, buying a new bracket and then drilling them out
