Real Vice grips, the old ones, as an assist. Or after you strip them,
vice grips and a hammer.
Or you can remove the cover, pull the clips and let the stub hang with
the axle, same as the one piece. Easier....

The socket is e12. It was a whore of a job getting them off. These
things have to be on just right or you will strip it or it flys off
the bolt head. I have several scraped knuckles after this job. They
have lock tight applied to the bolts, so you have to use a long
breaker bar to break them loose and continue loosening them. The axle
boots are in the way of the ratchet causing it to want to slip off the
bolt. You can't use an extension to clear the boots because when you
try to apply all that pressure it wants to come off the bolt. Just now
removed the last of the 12 bolts. 3 more hex bolts and it's out
