Follow everyone's advice, and you should be able to get em off w/o a hitch. I did the calipers on my car about a month ago, had same problem. I ended up using a 2-foot long ratchet with a 4 or 5 foot long pipe slid over the end. With the car on jackstands, I hit this extended wrench with a small sledge hammer. That is what it took me!
PS - I wouldn't try this alone. It is much easier with help - even just someone to stabilise things, etc while you grunt away getting it loose.
