Thanks for advice. I sprayed with penetrating oil and left for a couple of days spraying at frequent intervals, smacked with a hammer and generally wrenched about but couldn't budge them.
I then scraped around the stud with a sharp pointed tool and grey stuff flaked out. It was dry so the penetrating oil obviously does not work on alloy 'mould'. I then used 1mm Dremmel bit to clean mould out as best I could and finally got 2flanges off one pair.
The other pair are still stuck but I need to get more drills as I blunted the only one I had.
What a chore! !
