Stupid torques bolts are stuck.

-I would recommend getting a 1/2 inch breaker bar + cheater bar. You virtually have to break those bolts to remove them. My attempts with an impact were disappointing to say the least. The top one, especially, is a pain and needs a collection of extensions. I used a 4 ft. bar and had to hang on it.

I agree with jwick as well - exhaust leak is imminent if you break them off now and intend to drive the car.
