How to remove Brake bosses.

Hi all.

I tried to remove the brake bosses from my frame with no success. I have tried the following.

Adjustable spanner
LBS with LARGE adjustable spanner
Pliers with huge force.
Pliers and hairdrier to heat up the boss.

So far nothing. Am i doing something wrong? Are these normal clockwise to tight bolts? Its a 2003 rockhopper frame.

Thanks
