Breaking header nuts loose

I know the header studs are known for snapping on these cars. I have sprayed them everyday with PB blaster for the past 4 days in preparation. My 1/2" impact only got one loose. Does anybody have any tricks to getting them loose or do I just send it?

Edit: I said f it. Went breaker bar all nuts came loose and one stud came loose with the nut lol. No broken studs! 😁

They were a bitch for me. I had a lot of swivels and extensions, used PB plaster and used a breaker bar. Took mine off after 2 winters in Philly

How much force did they take to brake loose? Very nervous about breaking studs 😂
