ideas to help remove

The bolts are held by nuts that are pressed into the doors. I had to take the door panels off and spray some wd-40 on the inside (some still broke). If you can see the nuts from inside the door, which you should try using vise grips to stop them from turning. Took me a few tries but i got them off. P.S. dont try to just pull the nuts out of the door from the outside. They are cone shaped with a groove built in to sandwitch between the door. It's better to grind the head off the nuts and push them inside the door.
