Be careful as they are not torque bolts if they are the same as mine.
Tou will need something called a ribe tool to get them off.
It's very similar to torque which might do the job but mine were on solid and I stripped the centre with a torque bit.
Best of luck.

It should do it if they are not on solid.
Failing that I ended up hammering a socket onto the bolt and got new ones from pig. I think they were a couple of quid each.

Yep they are stuck on tight. Can't shift them as hard to get the leverage. Impact hammer will hopefully help.

Finally got the buggers off with a breaker bar and brute force. had to dremel a couple of disc alignment screws and turn them into flathead screws to get them off
