    You need heat and an impact gun.
    Since it's the caliper bracket that is threaded, snapping the bolt is no big deal. Just do a core exchange, or get a machine shop remove it. Hell, once it's free, you might even be able to grind it out yourself.

        Figured it out everyone! R3v member Cabriolet came and helped -- breaker bar is key here! I don't think the PB blaster even made a diff, but the leverage is what did the trick.

        Thanks for all of the help!
