Addition to NickD's post: As long as the threaded portion of the bolt isn't seized in the fork leg, once you've ground off the bolt head you should be able to remove the rest of the bolt without using an easy-out... Grind off the bolt head, once its off remove the caliper from the fork leg, then unscrew the rest of the old bolt from the fork leg. I've had to do that a couple times, both times the threaded portion could be unscrewed by hand.
