Heat from a torch, yes. They use threadlock on those bolts in the factory. The heat will overcome the threadlock.

I just did my brake conversation last week and ran into the same problem. My soultion was to use a pipe as a breaker bar on my half inch drive. I tried my air rachet but it wouldn't do the job. If I had an impact it would have made it a lot easier.
