Broke lug stud. Can't remove caliper
Anyone ever replace one of these?

I couldn't get the caliper off. Tried: propane torch, hammer, wax, PB blaster. Bolt won't budge.

I've replaced 6 of them. They're easy but you need to remove the caliper.

You can't get the caliper bolts free? Soak them a couple times a day for a couple days running in PB Blast, tap on 'em firmly when you do, then when you're ready heat them super-smoking-hot, and use a long breaker bar. I have an 18" bar, and for stubborn stuff I like to put about four feet of pipe on the end of that. Leverage is king - they will break free, or they'll just break, either way you'll get the caliper off.
