Impact gun vs breaker bar on rusty caliper bolts, lesson learned

Spent yesterday at a 2014 F-150 in Fort Worth trying to get the rear caliper brackets off. Impact gun just spun and hammered for 10 minutes, no luck. Grabbed my 24" breaker bar with a cheater pipe and they broke free in under 2 minutes each, but I snapped one bolt head clean off doing it. Next time I'm hitting them with a torch first then the impact, that rust is no joke around here. Anyone else find the breaker bar is the only way on Texas trucks, or do you have a better method?
