Caddy’s Brakes (>_<)

[10MaN]

Hello.

I’m working on replacing the front rotors and brake pads on a 04 Cadillac escalade ext. Sounds easy but I cannot for the life of me get the bolt to “break” on the caliper to remove it. It just won’t give it up. It takes torx head socket to remove it but I almost striped it with that. I sprayed liquid wrench on it bolts and that didn’t work. Air gun…nothing.

Help!
