I recently did mine too and had similar issues. All I can say is try to soak them with a penetrant and let it soak overnight. If you can't get it loose with a wrench don't try to pry it off otherwise you will definitely break something. The new WD 40 rust release seams to work good. I used it on all my exhaust bolts and didn't break a single one. Be sure to soak the heck out of it and let it sit for a while.

PB Blaster. Soak and wait.

You should replace all 3 at the same time which includes the pulley on the belt tensioner.
