Fan bolts, areal "bear" to remove

Changing belts on my 380SE and trying to remove fan to make it easier but what a "bear" trying to remove bolts. Only takes a 10MM wrench and hard to get any leverage and don't want to round off bolt heads. ( looks like the bolts on the air pump, PS, alternator are going to be tough also. Maybe this is first time attempted to be removed)

Any suggestions ? Thanks

Well I got the fan bolts loose and took the fan off but when trying to loosen the one bolt on the air pump I rounded it. You would need a gorilla to get this loose. So, off to my indie I go to replace the belts( he agrees to use the ones I bought(Conti's) and athen have the motor mounts replaced also.

I'm beginning to think the only thing I cna do anymore is change oil, coolant and maybe brakes and polish and wax the hell out of my cars. Must be old age
