Turbo front brake line braket

I'm trying to replace my front disks and having trouble removing the brake line bracket. All the videos I've seen have the bracket screwed in near the strut pointing backward. You remove that one bolt and the bracket comes off. On my 2004 tt the screw goes in a cast just inside the disk. The screw screws in pointing to the side rather than to the rear in the videos. I've removed the screw in my configuration, and the bracket won't budge. I took another nut off a bit forward of the screw with no luck. Tried liquid wrench and no luck. What else could be holding it on? Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

993GT, I took that bolt off and pulled as hard as I could, with no luck. I also applied Liquid Wrench with no luck. The next step is to use a chisel and try to wedge it away. Is there nothing else holding it on? I don't want to drive a wedge if there is another bolt i can't see. Thanks
