When there's rust or heavy paint on the threads and you try to remove a nut the rust or paint gets jammed into the threads between the nut and stud causing the nut to jam, try removing the rust and or paint off the threads first with a wire brush or wire wheel in a drill, and then when removing the nut back it off and if it binds or gets tight, tighten it a bit and hit it with the wire brush again to remove any debris jamming it up, rinse and repeat until you get all the nuts off.
A little bit of heat from a propane torch may also help in conjunction with the above mentioned wire brushing in getting the nuts removed.
