There is a sticky on this forum detailing the entire process, with pics, and recs for which tools to use. Mike Bonanni is the author of the thread.

BEST advice I can give you is to soak the demon bolts with penetrating oil the night before you try to get 'em off.

If you want to give it one more chance get some PB Blaster and some straws. Make yourself a make shift tube using the straws that will reach down to the bolts and spray the bolts down before you drive for about a week straight. You will want to get at least 4 or 5 good drives to really heat it up and once you get home after driving while it is still hot spray it again. This should allow the PB blaster to really soak into the metal and make it easier to break free. I used a whole can on each side to make life much easier.

edit just realized this is my 600 post WOOT
