Well, I got the 2 caliper bolts out using a 2' length of pipe on the allen wrench. Not sure if the threads on the wheel carrier are stripped but it looks like the last few threads on the bolts are galled up. i.e. they might have stripped the threads while being backed out due to corrosion. The rest of the threads on the bolt look fine. Guess I won't know the damage until I get the new bolts to try.

Thanks again for the help.
