impact hammer, penetration oil, torch. If none of that works, a hand grinder always comes in handy.

Or you could use a jack, position it under your car against the wrench, so your useing the jack to push up on the wrench to break the bolts lose, hold the wrench in place so it doesnt slip off and jack away, its effortless.
