I used some wd-40. Let it sit for awhile to penetrate. I broke 2 long extensions, they twisted at the socket attachment point and snapped. Use a long tool to get good leverage.
Hope this helps!

Note: Snap-on tools are your friend. No stripped bolts, no broken tools.
Honda's can REALLY seize up some bolts. ALWAYS, ALWAYS use non-seize compound on everything you screw back into that damned aluminum block.
