Default Header Flange Bolts..need Help!!

I believe they are the header flange bolts Im having trouble with. Im trying to pull them off a buddys car for his header install but they are a bitch!!! The three bolts on the triangle piece above the cats. I have been trying for hours now to break those effers loose and no luck at all. I soaked them in penefree and still nothing.

how the hell do i get these things off?? They are friggin tight!!

If you not reuseing the cats take a air gun and take them off, if they brake they brake. I broke 2 of mine with only 30k on the clock and sunny wheather only.
