Try warming them up with a heatgun of some type, and then use the wheel nut spanner and a long pole, It's a bit crude but it worked for me.

Impact gun is easiest if you can get hold of one

If they are really tight, an impact gun won't work either.
As I said on the other thread.
19mm and a long breaker bar, jumping on it if necessary.

They are 19mm bolts

Good qulaity 19mm ring spanner on one side

Good quality 19mm socket and 2ft strong bar on other side and it should move with ease.
