I used my impact gun and the dp bolts came off like butter. If you can't get access to one. I suggest you use liquid wrench and an extra set of hands. If that still doesn't work go by yourself a propane torch. Heat the nut a while until it turns red and voila it'll come right off.

You should honestly invest in a compressor and an impact gun you'll love it.

Breaker bar works fine with some muscle. No need to heat things up unless you're taking out an O2 sensor.
