are they welded to a plate or something?
I can't seem to turn them.

Now, I know you're a smart guy so I'm going to assume you've put a second nut on and turned the bottom one?

It's just a thread at the bottom. 5/16 top and 3/8 at the bottom. Give it some WD40 overnight.

Is all I can come up with at short notice.
