Soak it in pb blaster or wd40 and put it in a vice. Turn the bracket back and forth and hopefully the pins will come out. I had to drill the pins out of one of my brackets they were rusted up so badly.
If you have to drill it out use a bit smaller than the pin diameter. This way you won't drill out the bracket. The pins are a softer metal than the bracket so it should be obvious once you reach the bottom. Then use a screwdriver to pry the rest of the pin out.

Thanks for the tips PNYXPRESS its good to know next time if this happens again, I got impatient and decided to buy a new caliper mount thing with new pins. Turns out the caliper bracket is like 15$ at autozone.. so I decided to save myself trouble, but alas costing some $. PETROCK I still referred to your tutorial and have everything in now in place, and I believe it's working well. Time to test drive it tomorrow
