I would imagine that if you can't get them open then you'll have to remove them from the truck and easy out them or something. Shouldn't be too hard. Heat should work though be careful of heating the fluid, damaging the brake line, or inhaling the smoke from burning fluid. It's toxic ****.
Good luck

Don't use wd-40 use liquid wrench type products, they work much better.

Use PB blaster. Or if you really want to know how to loosen rusted and stuck bolts check out the "candle trick" in the Garage forum -works great!
