heating them up worked for me. do NOT break a stud. you could also try penetrating oil but dont do it when the engine is hot. you could start a fire.

well, i let mine cool down, sprayed some PB blaster on it. let it sit a while and they came right off. And make sure if you do spray anything on them, clean it up real good once you got them off.
