I'm looking for ideas on removing some bolts on the car with rusty but currently undamaged heads, 13mm socket slips off and I cant get access to hammer on an old 12mm socket. I'm going to try the ATF/Acetone mix as a penetrating oil on the thread side as I can squirt stuff on but socket wise I'm thinking of trying a 1/2 socket if I can find one or there are 6 point sockets, I've also seen

Or has anyone got something they swear by?
Or there's me blow torch
Last resort would be drilling out large nut to weld over the head but I'll probably have to drop the majority of the exhaust to get to one of the bolts and I'm hoping if I can get a decent grip on the bolt head with penetrating oil behind they might come out.
