Another option is to use a cut-off wheel, in a moto-tool (Dremel), to carefully cut the nuts in half.  After making a cut on one side, try using a large, flat screwdriver, to pry the nut open, and away from the bolt threads; you may need to cut the nut on both sides, to fully remove/pry it off.

Impact drivers exert tremendous torque, so bear in mind that they can easily sheer bolts in two.  They will also break standard sockets, quite easily!  Only use impact sockets.  Don't ask me how I know this...


Best of luck.  Cheers!
