How to free catalytic converter bolts?

I have a 96 civic, the bolts on the exhaust holding the catalytic converter on are kinda rusted and they are stuck and i dont wanna break them or strip them out, can any one give me any ideas about what to do, they are stuck pretty good, i have already soaked them in pb blaster a few times and they still wont come offHow to free catalytic converter bolts?
Unfortunately,some times all you can do is cut them off and replace them with nut and bolts from the hardware store.How to free catalytic converter bolts?
If they are that rusted you are going to need some welding equipment or a really good sawmill to remove it. Older Honda are notorious for having rusting exhaust. The new model ones I believe 2005 and up have lifetime warranties on the exhaust system. I recommend replacing the entire exhaust from headers back if you plan to keep the car at least a few more years.How to free catalytic converter bolts?
The bolt is going to snap. That's just how things are going to be. Only way around it is to paid the mechanic and they will snap it and replace the bolt.
you have a good cutting torch or a saws-all?
