Default Rear Caliper bracket

Removed portion of caliper that slid right out. Here is the problem: Despite using every tool at my house to remove the caliper bracket- I have failed; There has to be a trick to get the bastard off so I can replace the rotors. I will take any and all advice. I researched all over the site looking for a solution- couldn't find anything. REAR BRAKES.

Isn’t it like a 19mm needed, then smack the wrench with a 5 pound deadblow hammer.

Soak bolts with PB Blaster, let it sit for a day, then whack it. Chemistry is your friend.
