Read my original description. I have no doubt the impact wrench would have gotten these puppies off...but the bolt turns with the nut. PB Blaster doesn't help with this.

Ended up getting them off with a combo of the (recently-purchased) nut splitter AND my kid's dremel. Neither was perfect, but together I muddled through. Took awhile---those tools are one helluva lot easier to use when access is simple. Working in a tight space, not so much..
