Bought Ce Race Pipe And Having Trouble, My Socket Broke!!!!!! Need Suggestions!!!!!!

i got my ce racing street pipe few days ago and bought all the installation parts seperately, saved me about $9, and decided to install it today.
i used a lot of wd40 on the bolts and tried to unscrew them. MAN, those things are on there so tight!!!. took me about 20-30 minutes to remove 1.
then the second one was worse. my socket wrench broke, the adapter part i mean, with the little **** looking adapter, also my socket is now STUCK onto the bolt and i can't pull it off. i was thinking about somehow use a dremal and cut somewhere cause the only the holding that cat is basically the nut i think. so i cut and maybe the bolt comes loose? any other ideas? oh yeh, i'm a new member, how do you post pictures, not like links.

trying jiggling them. My sockets always got stuck on the exhuast nuts, I just installed a y-pipe. Just jiggle it or tap it with your wrench.

cutting them with a dremel is going to suck.
