   If they really dont want to budge after a full day at it then take it to a garage and see if they can losen them up, bring it back and carry on with the job your doing

   i had do the same job yesterday, my downpipe was knacked, spend the whole day trying get them off,
   gave up went to the scrappy and got a manifold and downpipe... problem solved
   wish i'd thought of it in the morning instead wasting hours and hours.
   
   them bolts have a tendancy of snapping too so be careful.
