Will my rear shock bolts break on me?

Lots of sage advice here. I sprayed mine with Kroll oil for a week prior to doing the work. I also heated and tapped with a hammer the morning I started. Used a breaker bar and they came out no problems. Mine were original shocks from 2002 and the vehicle spent the majority of its life in the Chicago area.

Honestly, I'd also try one of these:

This thing worked miracles for the hinge bolts. Made them come out like they were brand new without even using anything else.
Interesting.
I just did mine and broke three of the four. I used an extra long 17/64 bit to drill out the broken bolts and retapped to M8x1.25. Used M8x35 flange head 10.9 bolts and was generous with the anti seize(it gets on everything anyway).
