My Dad taught me that if you suspect a large bolt OR plumbing joint to be siezed, You whack the bolt head with a large hammer several times. You gotta give it a real dead blow. This helps fracture some of the corrosion, and maybe allow your penetrant to work itself in farther. I'll never say I haven't broken a bolt even when using this method, but I do see what bolts I do manage to remove, how bad they looked, and feel pretty confident that if I hadn't done that little trick...they too may well have broken as well. Just a little tip that HAS worked for me. HTH
