Default Unfreezing caliper bolts

I'm having a hell of a time getting the caliper bolts off so I can replace my rotors/cv boots, and cannot, for the life of me, get the bolts loose. I've tried liquid wrench, and a couple applications of PB blaster, and still nothing.

I've got a propane torch. Would heating them with the torch help loosen them?

Any help would be great!

Nevermind, sorry! Finally got my breaker bar to free them.

there is no way you are talking about caliper bolts, you must be talking about carrier bolts, and you don't need to remove the rear ones to replace the rotors.
