Welcome to the site fordboi76!

Got an oxy torch handy? hehe - just kidding. Do you have a set of vice-grips? If that doesn't work, I suggest posting a question in this forum: Exhaust Systems - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Good luck

You could heat the nuts with torch and use vice grips. You can also let them soak overnight in PB blaster and use vice grips. I beleive sears also sells some kind of socket set for rounded off nuts.
