Drill them out and replace them with new hardware. Sucks, but sometimes it has to be done.

EVERY cat as old as ours will be like that. Cutting torch should make quick work of them. Be very careful though.

I just brought it to a shop and let them do it. They were rusted so bad that it looked like the bolts and flanges were one piece. They got them both out in 15 minutes.
