Two choices -
1. buy some penetrating oil from a car accessory shop and allow to soak in.
2. heat the head of the bolt - as it expands it will crack the rust - but you do need to get very hot which is difficult without burning the slats of the bench0 -
Try soaking them in Coke.You can always get more with a kind word and a 2-by-4 than with just a kind word.0
