Frozen Bolts on front calipers

I applied (liberally) some PB'Laster to these two bolts that hold on the caliper but I can not get them to come free. Are they clockwise or counter clockwise? I've tried with no success in both directions. Little help gents. I'd like to get these new rotors on tonight.

Thanks

Correction. I soaked in PB'Laster over night and took a breaker bar to them in the morning. Had some issues posting so I've already fixed this problem.
