Question removing calipers

I cannot for the life of me get my calipers off. It is really starting to get to me. They are stuck, frozen will not come off. Any suggestions on how to get them off

Re: removing calipers

Couple ways:
Best way is by heating the mounting points on the CAR (where the threaded ends of the caliper bolts are) with a "Bern-zo" (MAPP gas) hand torch(available in any hardware/dept. store) to make the mounting holes expand so whatever's got the bolts seized will burn/crumble off.
They'll loosen up nicely. Just don't heat the caliper body itself too much as you don't wanna distort/crack things. Keep the heat away from the brake hoses, too.
