Try to tighten it a lil first to break it loose, then once its broke, back it out.

Re: Bolts don't wanna break loose?
yeah as stated above you should use a torch if you have one(oxy-acetelyne, the propane torches usually can't get it hot enough to expand away from the bolt/stud). Heat the flange, not the bolt, until red hot then your bolt should come right out.

Re: Bolts don't wanna break loose?
Did you pull the wheel well?
Both my bolts on the catalytic converter busted off. Drill them and put a nut/bolt back in. I snapped all 6 of the bolts on the y-pipe off. When I pulled the exhaust manifold off, I hammered the studs out and replaced them. Exhaust manifold studs came right out of the head no problem. Took like 1.5 hr because I didn't jack the car up high enough:
