are they rounded off or just rusty? if just rusty try and get a wire brush on them and spray with wd40 or some type of penetrant. if rounded a nut remover such as the Irwin Bolt Grip Nut Remover should work. there are loads of tools availible to get them off. loads of penetrant oil what ever though as they will be mighty tight.
