HELP! options for removal of rusted/striped bolt
its the 2 under the hood that connect the shocks to the car...4 in total, 2 on each side. i soaked the **** out of it for almost 2days now. they wont budge!
i used a breaker bar and all it does is strip it...i dont wanna **** it up even more.
what can i do now? heat it? chisel it? cut it??
thanks

There are a few things you can do. I'd try heating / torching first. Then try bolt extractors (they look like sockets with fluted heads). If that doesn't work, cut the head and drill it out.
EDIT ^^ beat me to it...
