Default Can't Get Caliper Bracket Bolt Off

I need to get the rotor out. Do you guys normally remove the caliper bracket bolt out by hand? It says the bolt torque is 80 lb-ft in the Helms. It's in an awkward position bc it points away from you and there's not much room. I can't for the life of me get it out with my ratchet. Do I need an air ratchet? Most air ratchets only go to 50 lb-ft.

I use a 3/8 impact gun but you should be able to get the 17mm bolts off with a ratchet and a los musculos. The bolts may be a little rusted/ corroded, shoot it with some JB 80 or WD 40.
