(This is for a 2004 Chevy Suburban. I know this is the wrong place, but the Chevy trucks section looks dead, and I don't feel like leaving TRS for information on fixing my vehicles. I've come to trust TRS a lot more than mechanics :D)

I am having a hard time getting the front two screws of the caliper removed. From my research on-line, I have come to find out that these screws are put on very tight and use loctite adhesive. Any idea on how to take these sombitches out?
 
Best way is usually to put the wrench on it with a small bar...Hit it a few times back and forth with the palm of your hand. The bar will give you more torque...and smacking it with the palm of your hand will give a slight 'impact' effect.

(don't overdo it...no sense in stripping something)
