Suggestions to undoing tight brake caliper bolts?
I am trying to remove the bottom 14mm bolt from the brake calipers,so i can fit my new brake pads on, but its too tight. I initially used a standard 14mm hex key. It didn't work. A friend suggested using a breaker bar. But it won't fit into the wheel arch. + i don't have any air tools. Help?

What a stupid and presumptuous comment.
If you've never met a bolt you couldn't budge, then you obviously haven't done much work on cars.
Chris, one thing you can try with this sort of thing is turning on some steering angle. You might be able to find a sweet spot that gives you a bit more access.
