Warm them up with a blow lamp then get a good fitting (not worn ) 6 sided socket.

From my personal experiance they are not that tight.

As above.


if doing above, and they are siezed, the studs will snap before rounding.


Also try tapping them each with a hammer 1st, and if you got the time, leave it soaked in WD40.

Heat them, you will need to heat them for a good few mins each if all u have is a blow torch. Get a longer bar (NOT ratchet")
