A few things not mentioned: The manual impact tool. It has a 1/2 drive at one end and a flat end at the other to hammer on. They can deliver perhaps 250 - 300 ft-lb.
Heat. You can try a heat gun for better control. They usually have two settings, 600F and 1200F. Try the lower setting first. If that doesn't work, MAP gas should be a consideration. It's hotter than propane.
Some of the new battery powered impact guns go all the way up to 700 ft-lb but they can cost more than what an idie would charge for a front brake job.
Something else to try: TIGHTEN SLIGHTLY first and then loosen.
Good luck
