Going to order 2 new hub carriers from a breaker today.
Have your mechanic try welding a piece of metal bar to the caliper bolt, and use the metal bar's leverage to remove. Maybe a small sledge hammer to help it start turning a bit. Had the same situation and this worked for me. Save that hub carrier money and spend it on something nice on the car
