mine are WAY past penetrating oil, one of the nuts was completely rotted away.
They are pressed in studs. (attached photo of what they look like new)
I took it to my local independent muffler shop and bargained with them to get them out and new bolts (non pressed regular bolts) for $100.
They used a torch and air chisel.
I would have had to drill them out.
I will replace them with stainless bolts/nuts in the spring
