Soak those bolts overnight with PB Blaster. Then, put your rachet to each bolt and pop the rachet handle with a dead blow hammer. That should loosen them up so you can remove them. BTW, you have twelve point sockets, correct? Actually a box end wrench (12 pt) would be more ideal to prevent stripping the head of the bolt.

It is a 13 MM. You need a 13mm deep socket
