**help Help** Someone Please Help

To anyone and everyone,
I recently bought some headers for my 91 Formula. THe problem is that when removing one of the bolts on the factory exhaust manifolds it broke off, and two other bolts just won't budge. I am not too worried about the one that broke as I am of the two that won't come out. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to use to get them out... Thanks for reading this and please reply back if you have any suggestions.

Will

if you already tried penetrating oil then try wax. i read in a mag that if you melt wax on the bolt...if you can get in there...the hot wax will get into the threads. the combo of the wax lube and the heat should do the trick.

also try taking a flat punch to the center of the bolt head and smacking it with a hammer if you have room. Helps to jar it loose.
