Ok so i just bought a 1994 Grand Prix Coupe. 3100 V6 SE. And the seller told me it had new rear brakes but would need new fronts to pass. Upon taking them apart it is true. The worst rotors ive ever seen. One problem i cant get the caliper bracket off that is holding the rotor on. the Torx head bolts are STUCK in there not budging at all. i tried leaving PB Blaster on there overnight but still the same as before. More leverage doesn't help at all and tapping on it with a hammer doesn't either. Im going to try heat tomorrow it is my last chance unless someone has an idea. I don't have much money to go on since i just spent 1200 on the car and brakes for the front. Any ideas would help.

Those bolts are installed with threadlock. A little heat, and they should come right off.

High torque impact wrench. Breaks away anything. I've never had trouble with rusty caliper bolts.

Make sure you try the heat before you try to impact them off! I have seen the impact break an endless amount of bolts!

I agree about the heat first. Impact wrenches can definitely break bolts.

Just get a torx bit (correct size), put it on a long half inch breaker bar, turn the wheel in the direction to give you the most room, and reef on them. You'll more than likely twist the torx off before you break the bolts.
