Finally doing the LS400 caliper upgrade and before I can even star the fun part my caliper bolts wont budge
I've tried my homeade torque bar
Then I pulled out my torque wrench (250lbs max) and it still wouldn't budge
tried for over an hour then gave up
What should I try next?

Any advise will be helpful

You turning the right way? (hey it happens) I was having the same problem yesterday, I took a 25lb sledge to the ratchet; just dont do what I did and take your thumb with it I crushed my thumb... anyways, yea. Also use some liquid wrench and/or WD40.

dont use your torque wrench to open nuts/bolts. it screws it up.
like they said, use pb blaster/liquid wrench/a torch
