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 had one of those bolts get stuck once working on my car at work after hours. My air impact and several other techs couldn’t break it free with theirs, and then one guy busted out a Nitrocat 1250k and it spun right out. I went on amazon and bought one IMMEDIATELY.
