The best way to remove the 'demon bolt' is to warm the car up a bit to expand the bolts and then spray it liberally with a penetrant. Let it sit for a bit and remove the bolt. I snapped the stud clean off on the passenger's side but the driver's side came off relatively easily.

Also, this is a huge tip that made a world of difference for me: try and tighten the bolts even more at first to break the bond. THEN go to loosen them and they will come off much much easier, even easier than the penetrant and heat.
