Man, don't torch your car!!

I've found a great penetrant -
the STP spray equivalent of WD40.
Spray those bolts, and let them
soak overnite while spraying several
times. Then get a medium or even
small pipe wrench - they get tighter
on what you're turning the more
torque you put on them. A poor man's
impact is hitting the wrench "sharply"
with a heavy (like 3 lb) hammer - the
wrench needs to be tight on the bolt
with all the slack taken out.
Use the STP then the pipe wrench
& hammer - SOMETHING will give!!
Good luck!!
