Default Downpipe Nuts Siezed?

Just tried to do these up as it is blowing slightly from there and I will be fooked if the nuts move! Looks as if they have seized

What can I do about this? Just need to do them up slightly and it is pissing me off and the car is gonna end up being kicked off axel stands

Best options are to soak them in WD 40 (or even better some proper penetrating spray) for a good while, if that doesnt work get the blowtorch on them and try again whilt they are hot

lots of wd40 but when u do them up all the time they will break so do it very slowy and it should work or take them to a zorst palce and get them to but new bolts and nuts in it for u or try it ur self
