Default Exhaust Manifold Bolt Ringing Off?

Hey, I just purchased a set of longtubes and some TSP True duals, but I apparently have a huge problem, when I try to loosen the bolt, it feels like it's just getting tighter and tighteras I'm loosening it as if its going to break if i loosen anymore, immediately after I saw this was happening I just retightened it is there a method of removing the manifolds that I don't know about? Cause the last thing I want is a bolt chillin in my head.

be sure to spray penatrating oil on all the bolts before you start, i used PB blaster. you can get it any parts or hardware store. Spray a good amount of oil on that bolt and see if you can work it out by turning it left and right to see if it will free up. Probably rusted up and getting bunched up in the threads

are you sure you're turning it the right way? There's nothing special about the manifold bolts.

Maybe all you are feeling is the bolt breaking through the rust ?
