Arg in the middle of the brake job now... can't get those darned bolts off the caliper bracket (the 15mm ones) !! I have soaked them in WD40 and hammered the ratchet, they're just not coming off.

The front rotors definitely have about 1mm or maybe 2-3mm rust border on them. I bought the new ones anticipating this because I don't know if they've ever been replaced, but now I can't do it! This is so frustrating, any more tips on getting the bolts out? (I don't have a blow torch and have already soaked the things in WD40 so I don't want to try heat..)

Took the day off work to do this and have gotten nowhere, I'm so frustrated!
