Stuck Shock Bolt!!!!

Hi All,
I have been trying to get the rear lower shock bolts off my car for the better part of the day and I am out of ideas! I've tried PB Blast (applied last night), impact wrench, big a$$ breaker bar, and even using a jack to press up on a flare-nut wrench! The only thing that all this has accomplished is starting to round off one of the corners of the bolt! I haven't tried heat yet because I don't have a propane torch but I think I might pop down to Home Depot and pick one up. The other thing I was going to try was to get a higher end impact gun. Can anyone else think of something to try?




Thanks for any advice you can give,

Michael
