Don't heat it. Use a pair of vise grips and a hammer to knock it out. Make sure you rotate it when it moves just to keep it from freezing even worse. There is a rubber grommet on one of the pins and if you heat it it may melt the rubber. Use some WD40 to lube it when you are removing it too. After it is out use a wire bottle brush and some wd40 to scrub inside the bore. Then use a wire brush and some more WD40 to scrub the pin. Clean it all up with some brake cleaner and use white lithium grease to lube it all back up. If one is frozen you should do this to the pins on at least the rear calipers and check the fronts too. You CANNOT buy the caliper bracket separate from the caliper.
