Default removing caliper bracket on 2500
Broke two sockets, bolts haven't budged. Tried breaker bar, then a pipe on the breaker bar. Then decided to try the impact wrench... that ended up with two split sockets, and no progress on spinning out the bolt. Why MoPar thought 12 points were a good idea, I don't have a clue.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Got it. My full weight on the breaker bar finally made them turn.
