I'd start by applying penetrating oil NOW, even if it'll be a few days before you actually remove them.

I used a 4" machinist's "C" clamp (fine threads) and a 10mm axle spacer as a "receiver " with great success on the only one I've tackled.
I did start using the penetrating oil a couple days before and applied it several times/day.
