They are tight mate. Even with the bolts undone you really have to hit them hard with a hammer to shift them. The pipe union is also a nightmare. I had to use mole grips on mine. Still it is possible to move them if you use enough force, just be careful not to damage the backplate.

Yeah the proper brake pipe spanner helps. Unfortunately even with it the union nut rounded hence the reluctant use of mole grips. You might be luckier than me however.
