Stuck bolt on brake calipers

I'm changing my brake discs and pads for the first time and I managed to get the drivers side done but there is a siezed bolt on the caliper for the passenger side. I've tried an impact gun (my 19mm socket cracked from this), a 2 foot breaker bar (the bar broke at the head). I don't have a torch to heat it up so is there any other way I could try to get it out?

Try another breaker bar or a 1/2" impact gun... but heat will probably be the only thing that works. Use anti-seize when reassembling.
