Breaker bar with a nice piece of hollow pipe to use on the end of it for leverage. Unually the handle from a floor jack works well. If you dont know the proper loosening sequence always start with the outermost head bolts and work your way towards the middle when loosening and the opposite when tightening . So do the outer 2 left side ones then the outer 2 right, then back tot eh left and right and so on..

what Tbone said. otherwise if you cant get your hands on a breaker bar, you might be able to get away with a pipe on the end of your rachet. hope it is a craftsman.
