best way to undo a brake caliper with blue loctite on it?

Heat the bolt up, but obviously avoid any rubber boots in the vicinity!

ive never used anything other than a decent breaker bar and socket,will be tight but once cracked its easy.

Some of those caliper torx bolts make me wince before they give.....I reach for the Mapp gas after only one attempt. Hexagon stuff - heave away!

A few clouts of the hammer on the head tends to shock the thing before you apply torque. And avoid everything else in the vicinity
