caliper pin problems

One of my caliper pins on the front caliper is frozen/siezed up.I tried turning it with visegrips and banging it with a blunt srewdriver and hammer.It will not budge.Any ideas on how to get this thing out?

pop the boot on the end out and PB Blaster the hell out of both ends of the pin and just let it soak.Should come out after that

I heated the pin with a torch to get mine off. I had to get it pretty hot before it would come loose but it did come loose
