      Get a breaker bar and put some elbow grease into it. They'll come off, trust me. They haven't been touched in 15 years.

          If you have to, just get a breaker bar and a hammer and go at them, they'll eventually break loose. Remember, they turn to the left looking UP, not down. I made that mistake the first time.

                are you sure you are turning them the right way? and do you have the right tool? get an impact gun and hammer down

                            Were you pushing the bar to the left or to the right?
