couple of different methods for the home based DIY guy.
1.) get a breaker bar.
2.) get some rust busting lubricant.

the easiest way i've found to break off bolts is take brake fluid and an old tooth brush, and rub the brake fluid on the bolt with the toothbrush. I did this when i changed my header and those bolts were never removed since that car came out in 93 and it worked like a charm, then use a breaker bar..that'll make it a bit easier
