I need to service my wheel bearings on my 91 240 sedan but to do so I must remove the brake caliper. It has two 15mm bolts that are on there like a mother.... I was able to loosen the lower ones on each side but the upper one on either side is so stuck on I'm not sure what to do. I do not own air tools and I don't intend on buying any. I need ideas becase my 12 point socket started to strip one of the bolt heads...I can probably salvage it with a 6 point socket but damn...what is holding it on? I'm a big man and can exhert some serious pressure but my toughness is no match for these bolts (plus they haven't been serviced in years)

If you guys can offer me a tip or two to remove the stubborn bolts I'm all ears..
