lots of oil and a impact gun if possible. If you dont have you can probably rent one from a local rental store

I just soaked the heck out of 'em with Kroil penetrating oil. Mine came off no problem. Try to let the oil take effect and try again, if you have the time. If not, onto air guns and such and get new nuts and bolts.
