I had the same problem with all my suspension bolts
I ended up just taking it to a garage and have them fit my new springs.

I use a cordless impact wrench now, best tool i ever bought - Just needs a long bar really bud, thats all i can recommend - Unless you kick the bar you have instead of using your hands...
