Ok so i need to do my brakes and the bolt on the front calipur is stuck, i tried wd 40, brake cleaner the works but it wont come off. Anyone know if a power tool that would remove it and still have enough room to operate in a small space like that? or any suggestions how to loosen it up with regular socket wrench?

longer wrench= more leverage
same concept with a ratchet, you can "extend" a ratchet by using a pipe to increase leverage
