I snapped my extesion bar loosening head bolts. It left a jagged edge that I almost impaled myself when the force let fly. I would be tempted to used an impact wrench, but head bolts must be loosened gradually in stages, according to what I have heard. I don't understand because when you are removing the head, it is at a cold temperature with no temp fluctuations.
