I seem to recall that I had to put some vice grips on mine and really lock them on. I then twisted and turned and cursed and hosed them down with WD40 before anything happened. I have heard of people chiseling them off carefully as well. If you have a torch, you could try heating them up before twisting them with the vice grips. HTH, Courtney
