caliper bridge bolt stuck

the two bolts that hold the caliper bridge on are rusted/overtightened stuck. i tried a 22" breaker bar and an impact wrench with penetrating oil, any other ideas?

Heat ALOT of heat. Propane torch hold on the bolt for about 3-5 mins then use the breaker-bar. Just don't burn your self or the hose. Heat will become your best friend in situations like these..

Re: caliper bridge bolt stuck

I thought heat may work, i was just worried because the axle boot and the rubber caliper bushing are close. I was planning on covering these with a wet towel, are there any other parts i should protect?
