if you can't turn them then you need to get a breaker bar, break them loose, then you should be able to use a ratchet to back them out or tap them with a hammer.

help At this point I don't think I can get a socket or wrench on the bolt heads ( rounded off) so it looks like I will be swinging a bfh. 145,000 mies have welded the bolt heads to the locking plate.

Problem Hello
Is the suspension unloaded(off the ground) if so just take a piece of all thread or screwdriver or anything that will fit in the hole and tap it out!
Take it easy,
Brad

I usually just smack the end of the bolt with a hammer and that does it but sounds like you've already tried that. Something like a screwdriver or a punch should concentrate more pressure and get em right out!
