Now this won't budge and can't fit new caliper until I have this out....

Any suggestions?

As fitting new calipers may just chop the cable off and fit new cable with new caliper.

Big screwdriver and a big hammer and hit it hard, lots of times

Even if you cut them you still have the get the outer out somehow, just plenty of hitting, it will bidge, use a lump hammer

Its the end that's attache dto teh caliper I can't budge. As Caliper is being repalced not a problem as will just remove old cable from its routing and replace with new attching to new caliper.
