Try getting a torch, heating up the very top of the caliper, no where else, and not for too long. Use a breaker bar on it as soon as you take the torch off. It should free up easily, just don't heat that caliper up for long, there are rubber seals.

If it rusted on there too badly, a breaker bar may just break the bolt because of too much torque. Like others said, spray some WD-40 or something similar, and try heating it with a torch. The bolt should come out pretty easily then.
