Default Cam bolt won't budge WTF!!!

Rebuilding my VQ got everything out 90% of the **** off and hung up on the exhaust cam bolts. Intakes came off fine but the exhausts won't budge. Anyone else had this problem or have any input??

Have you soaked the exhaust bolts with breakaway lube overnight?

Those were on tight in my engine too! Breaker bar and a wrench inside a pipe should do it. You probably need a friend to help out. Are you sure it's a good idea to use impact here?

If you have some one with a big *** Crescent Wrench you should be fine to use a Impact.

What are you going to be referring to? Manual or pdf files for all the correct info for disassemble and assembly? I'm getting ready to pull my timing cover off and take heads off and to tell u the truth I'm a little freaked out about it. I just want to make sure I not only follow the process correctly but I have all the info I need to complete the job.
