Tried doing the brakes on my car.... despite the breaker bar and wd40 and nearly pushing the car off the stands could not get the caliper bolts undone.

On the up side, may have figured out what the clunk noise on the front passenger side is, the shocks/struts seem to have a little play at the top where it bolts into engine bay, didn't have a socket big enough to do up though.

Nah, rotors and pads. Didn't realise how bad the pads were worn down, have roughly 15mm left of the pads and rotors have chunks out of them seems from stones or so, might pay someone to do them all for me as I don't have time and cannot get the bolts undone :(

Was going to do both cars to save money but cannot get the bolts to budge at all.

Give them a hit with a hammer to crack it? Usually works a treat.

Yep, even tried my other trolley Jack under the breaker bar and all it would do is shake and move the car.

I had my brakes done over a year ago now from a mobile mechanics, wonder wtf was used to make them this tight?

Get a longer breaker bar and hit the breaker bar with a hammer. To shock it a bit.
Or try putting a pipe on it for extra leverage.
