use a spanner over the nut and an adjustable spanner over the flats.
if not take it too a garage and get them too loosen them with a nut gun and drive home very carefully.

I covered it in WD40, then hit it a few times to try and loosen the rust, then got a torque wrench and just kept trying until it came free and away we went.
