Pontiac Grand Am Wheel Problem

Replacing rear brakes and the wheel cylinder is frozen up. How do you remove it? Have tried heating it up which didn't help.

Lots of penitrating oil and gentle tapping. I have sheared the bolts, item 21 off of the wheel cylinder, item 26 and then remove the wheel cylinder with the broken off studs in them and replaced.
