Hit them with some PB Blaster if you have any and let it sit for a few minutes. If you don't have PB Blaster, use WD40. A breaker bar will be very helpful. Those things are torqued on super tight.

I used wd-40 still nothing. Im using a regular wrench I picked up at auto zone. I also tried socket wrench as well. I guess Ill be picking up a breaker bar tommarow and giving that a shot.

Yep, you definitely need a breaker bar. That extra leverage will help. I used a 24" Kobalt 1/2" drive to loosen the bolts... even with that it was pretty tough.

Also you can hit the bolts with a hammer. Sometimes the vibration gets the bolts to "unstuck"
