Brake caliper bolts-advice or tips please

I'm taking the plunge on changing my right-side CV axle nessisated by my wheel bearing going out. What's ironic is I was able to finally get the 36mm axle nut off after much effort. But now I cannot get the two 16mm bolts loose to remove the brake caliper. But Mercy, I just can't get a good position to really turn or pull the socket wrench and that's compounded by the limited space of the wheel well. I was able to fashion a 4ft breaker bar for the axle nut at least.

I don't have an impact wrench but if that's what it will take.
