Cut them with a grinder.

The way I got mine off was by using PB blaster (a spray on rust remover)... I sprayed it around 4 times... Between each application, I used a 2ft metal pipe around my socket wrench with my back to a wall pressing with my feet. After about a half a day of soaking they came loose with all the force I could muster.

Easier to just cut them...
