search the forum. theres write ups about how to fix them, pretty much always involves just breaking the bolt heads off.

Well if they aren't broken yet, don't break them! Use plenty of PB blaster and let it soak in nice and good. Just go slow and they should come out ok. If they do break though, you might end up having to refer to the write-ups about how to fix them that mastershake suggested...

spray pb blast up behind them. there is a little pocket that lets you get to the back of the bolts.

if that doesnt work and they break you will need a hammer and a chisel or and air chisel. just chisel out the old weld nut and leftover bolt then fish a new bolt down through the pocket.
