Default How in the @#$% do these bolts come out

As I mentioned in my other thread I chewed up a front rotor. How in the hell do these bolts come out that hold the caliper bracket on. I've sprayed, torched, sprayed, torched,used an impact gun,put a wrench on it and beat it with a hammer breaking the wrench I might add. I end up getting pissed off and walking away from it errr I want my truck back

Sounds like you've done all you can. Keep sprayin at the back of the caliper, where the bolt treads into the caliper mounting bracket. Man I hate to see a fellow Ram guy without his truck. good luck brother.

Try this if you haven't already. Put a ratchet on it. Then get a really long pipe like 3 or 4 feet. Then pull on the pipe. You might need someone to help you hold the ratchet on the bolt. Oh yeathe trick to it.Cuss your head off. [:@] Nothing like a little dirty talk to loosen it up

nah. I learned the saying "go big, or go home" at the fire house and I like to live by that sometimes lol. I also like to be different. I want to drop a 514 into it but money isn't letting that happen. As of right now the plan is to fix the stocker unless I have to dig deep into it

That's what I would suggest. With the right amount of leverage anything will come off. Or break
