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.

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.
