Default Rusty Bolts

OK, so my car is up on jack stands as of this moment and I am attempting to install my header and exhaust but not a single one of the bolts will budge. I've used PB blaster on all of them and still nothing. Any ideas?

Oh and I don't have a blow torch or an air gun.

Really? Its a honda....you usually don't need air for anything more than the crank pulley.

Eat some wheaties and try again.

*edit*
Don't break them, its a bitch to extract head studs with the motor in the car!!

Go buy a map gas torch from wal mart. They're only like $30 and you'll use it over and over again. Just heat em up till they glow and wrench em off.
