PB Blaster.. Spray the busted bolts down with PB Blaster and just let it sit for a while (several minutes)... Just before you go back to remove them spray em' again... Get a set of ViceGrip's, tighten em' down real good and go for it...

If you don't have access to Oxy-Acl torches, Do as snapperbait says, Only After you've PBed the h*ll out of them,+ Locked the Vise-grips as Tight as you can, take a BFH and Whack them very Squarely on the ends, directly Into the heads....<br />Then try Turning...<br /><br />BTW, Throw the Ole' Lady Out, Not your Parts....<br />Atleast Not till you're project is Done.....
