lets the pb sit soak for a lil while n try a breaker bar or tap it with a hammer, not too much u can do, id try that first before u replace, worstcase... they break n u need new calipers

After soaking it for awhile (overnight is better), put a socket on it and try to tighten it just a little (just a bump or two) then try to break it loose. Sometimes when you tighten them this way it cracks it loose (well not crack but you know what I mean). There is a penatrating wax (can't remember the name) that you melt into the bolt/screws........
