Default Doing an alignment- problem

Went to do my UK alignment yesterday and i have 2 bolts that just wont budge!

One is on the right rear wheel, the adjuster bolt for the camber. ( on the back of the control arm )

The other is the left front Camber adjustment bolt. ( Front of the control arm )

I tried PB Blaster, Impact gun, and a breaker bar even, and they wont turn! Anyone else had this issue before? Any hints on how to get past this? ( and yes i loosened the nuts holding them down lol)

Right now my alignment specs are roughly as follows due to this and im not liking it!

Front Camber
(L) -0.45

Are the adjustments maxed out on those 2 bolts? Did you try to turn them backwards and they wouldn't turn that way either?

It's been a while since I looked at how much adjustment room they have and what happens when you reach the end, but it makes sense that if they reach the end of travel then they wouldn't move.

when they are maxed out they just spin the other way, they never stop moving because they are maxed out. They dont turn in either direction
