Rusty Caliper Mounting Bracket bolts (replacing studs)

[April]

2008 Nissan Altima rear passenger wheel

Long story short
> Tire kept deflating for no reason
> Tire center couldn’t fix it because of two stuck lug nuts
> Mechanic helped me break them off
> Bought new studs and lug nuts to replace
> Need to remove caliper mounting bracket to replace studs, but the bolts holding them are rusty or just on too tight
> I have tried a regular breaker bar and ratchet but its really tight in there, and even with the breaker bar I wouldn’t be able to get the right angle to put a cheater bar on it
> What tool should I use that can get in really tight spots and put a lot of pressure to unscrew the bolt?

Heat is kryptonite for rusty bolts.

Good hunting
