Grab a piece of pipe and put it to use... More leverage = loose bolt in no time.

if you dont' have a deep socket 14mm handy, you can try using the box end of a combination wrench, and hitting it with a mallet. that should work

Werd!

You could also spray the bolts with liquid wrench or something to help penetrate the rust.
