Ditto, ditto ditto. I would continually and liberally douse with PB Blaster. Do this over the course of a couple hours. Seriously. Let the stuff work. If that doesn't work, get yourself a small MAPP gas torch from Sears. Work carefully. Do not burn rubber caliper boots, brake lines, or ball joint boots.
