PB BLASTER leave it on as long as your patience can possibly take, and did you strip them trying to get them off?

well you got you self a mission, but not impossible
get a bolt extractor socket at pep boys and some wd40 but when you spray wd40 make sure you wipe of from the bolt head
here is a link so you know what a bolt extractor socket looks like
sorry for the long ***...LoL

might work but probably not. just go to wal-mart buy some vice grips and tighten down the vice grips with another pair of vice grip and thats what worked for me.

Hope this helps

heating the nut always helps. avoid WD40 its just expensive fish oil, good however but expensive but id say PB Blaster is better
