Soak the bolts in PB Blaster spray.
If my memory serves me rite I believe the heads of the bolts are 12 mm 12 point.
Use a good box wrench and hook with another wrench or a pipe and break them loose, that is if you didn't destroy them too bad.

i just took some off yesterday actually...12 pt 12 mm wrench an a hammer is what i used..probably not the best but was in a pit so there wasnt a great amount of room..impact wouldnt crack them n i couldnt pull it n break it ...big pipe over the wrench mighta been able too but still limited room to work..so i just put the wrench on held it with one hand n hit the wrench with the hammer n it cracked them loose

hmmmmmm ...wow......never had ones I couldn't get off..even ones loctited in...but using a welding tip on a torch and spot heat around the flange where the bolts are and if the heads are screwed up you can purchase extractors that look like short well impact sockets and have teeth on them and bite on the head as you try to remove them...sears has them
