To loosen really tight bolts, first apply penetrating oil to the bolt and let it sit for several minutes to help break down rust or corrosion. Use a wrench or socket that fits snugly to avoid stripping the bolt head. If it still won't budge, try applying heat with a torch to expand the metal or use a breaker bar for added leverage. Tapping the bolt gently with a hammer can also help to break the bond.
