14mm socket, knuckle and long extension from underneath should do it.

And a bandage or two or three. Underneath the best.

Its the nut that can only be undone from under the car that gets me everytime - especially on big bellmouth d/pipes
The thread on the top one doesn't look too healthy - get the hacksaw ready.

Make sure you use a six sided 14mm socket, not 12 sided

I managed to get the bolts off in the end. I set about the 1st one with a dremmel, hacksaw and an Air Chisel and eventually it came off. then the final one came off very easily - i think it must have been shaken free or was scared of ending up like the last one ....
