Rusted exhaust manifolt bolts...help!!

On my '89 IROC with stock L98 motor the passenger side exhaust manifold bolts are rusted and tight. I have been using Liquid Wrench and it seems to help only a little. Any ideas? I really don't want to break a bolt off in the heads.

Thanks!!

Yes, try WD-40 or PB Blaster. PB blaster claims it'll eat through a styrofoam cup in a few minutes. That stuff is pretty strong and should work.
