PB bolt breaker and a break bar are your best friend depending on where the bolt is you may wanna heat it up a lil bit with a propane torch

good ideas, but you may end up shearing off the head of the bolt, in which case you will need an easy-out and a new bolt

PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench penetrating oils. If you are engine swapping and have no fuel, fluids or battery near by heating the bolt head with a torch will help.
