      another simple method would be to grab the top side with a good sharp pair of vice grips and a tghtly fit socket on the bottom side with a good size ratched and turn, usealy when their that rusted they'll snap like a twig..

        Colleen got the right and only answer. Cut them off with a small handsaw. You can get one at Home Depot for about $5.00. The saw is very small and very practical for the spot. And while you are there don't forget to pick up a set of new bolts for about $3.50

          You may need to get a cutting tool and cut them off. You can try a spray on rust remover but by the sounds of it, they are in such bad shape, this would not help.
