Front Calper Bolts

do these bolts take a socket that's basically a torx, but female? a 12 point socket would likely spin itself around knocking off the peaks of the head of the bolts if that's the case. i'm with xwhyz about the pipe wrench. welding a bigger nut to the one that's giving you problems is what i'd do. that would give you the heat for releasing the loctite and also a better size nut to grab with a socket and impact. if all else fails, seek professional help.
