Propane torch on the nuts. Get them too hot to touch....spit sizzle, don't test with fingers. Tap the nuts with a metal hammer to help break those threads

Put your newest six point socket on the nut and gently apply torque on a long breaker bar...if you feel the buttery release of the stud snapping....

Be sure to pull out the winch strap and inspect it for fraying or tears as well.
