Default bolt remover?

ok guys, i snapped a socket wrench, bent a thick socket wrench, both with the help of a 3 1/2 foot breaker bar. There are some seriously tight bolts on my subframe. How on earth do i get them off? What is a good bolt spray? something strong. Not crappy wd40, i know there are way stronger ones that you can let sit for 10 min and they they come off easy as pie.

suggestions?

I used this sutff called PB penetrating catalyst on my flywheel bolts the other day. I thought it worked pretty well.

Thats good stuff, also make sure you use 1/2" drive tools, and impact sockets are much harder to break too.

I soaked the bolts then let it sit for about 15 minutes, then sprayed it again and let it sit for another 15 and they came off pretty easy.

Yeah, I definitely vote for "PB Blaster"; it's in a white and yellow spray can and should be at most automotive stores. Don't settle for anything less!
