Having trouble removing head bolts

I'm trying to get my heads off to ship to Lloyd Elliot, but for the life of me I can't get some of the bolts loose. I managed to crack my 1/2 socket and snap the head off my breaker bar. Is there a certain order you have to loosen them? Cause I'm just going front to back with them. I'm terrified I'm going to break a bolt off in there, and that would suck the fat one. Any ideas? Thanks

Agree, either you have the cheapest 1/2" drive tools in the world or your turning the bolts the wrong way. You want to go anti-CW.

Get some decent tools. Use a 6 point socket and keep it square on the head of the bolt.
