Thanks all for the advice and help. For the record, I had to get these taken off by a welder today as they were totally mullered after hitting, drilling, kicking, hammering, breaking drills, chipping alloys,reverse screwing, etc. and still no movement.
Even with the welding they took a few attempts of heating and cooling before movement. It seems they were really tight and had started bonding/corroding to the alloys themselves. Never again will I use these things!
