Which bolts? Rust is likely not your problem, torque is. Penetrating oil will not help in that situation.

A good snug fitting box wrench and a carefully placed blow with a 4lb. hammer works if you support the wrench in a remove direction as to not allow it lash on the hex of the bolt head when striking.
Works for me all the time.

Put a box end wrench on the bottom nut and smack the heck out of it with a dead blow.

If you can fit a breaker bar, use that.

If not, you can try double wrenching it

Not rust, do not use any spray. They are very tight. you need a long wrench or breaker bar.

what you need is a breaker bar or an air gun will loosen those no prob.
Also a BFH comes in handy at times like these/
