Better to persuade owners to change the fluid at the correct service intervals. Not leave it untouched for many many years. Do that and the nipples won't corrode in place.

You can get a spanner on it then.
I agree, I use a MAPP gas torch and produces enough heat for most things. A big propane torch will work but the flame is much larger , so would prob n eed to remove and strip caliper first. I've had to heat larger comp0nents f or prob ten minutes to get hot enough - one of the rear disk bolt on my mot orbike comes to mind, snapped a 6mm hex bit in the process but heat did the trick in the end.
