So far I've tried blow torch on the bolt head, then on the bolt holder area,

then tried WD40 every ten minutes for 2 hours, still stuck!

Can only presume there is some kind of thread locker on or severe rust...?

Can anyone give me some advice on how to get them off?

Thanks

It might be worth trying a product that penetrates and freezes the bolt to contract it a fraction to assist removal.
It would also benefit if you could try hammer action at the same time
Loctite make this product,as probably many more as well.
