there are a couple things to try. 1 you can spray a whole bunch of pb blaster on it and let it soak in for a while, and then use the craftsman bolt-out things, but if yours are like mine, they still wouldn't come off so I ended up taking a hack saw to it.

Or a grinder with a cutting wheel, they did not wanna come off otherwise.

Torch them to expand the metal and they will come off fairly easily. You could always take it to a shop and give them a few buck to torch them and take the them out, then just reinstall them and when you get back home they should come off no problem.

It might work but most likely they are seized. If you do this by yourself use vice grips to grab onto the nut.
