    You live in Hawaii, put plenty of high quality penetrating oil on the hardware (Kroil, Liquid wrench) try working the bolts back and forth, don't break anything, you may need a oxy/ accetalyn torch to supply enough heat to loosen the hardware. Above all don't break the hardware or the repair gets more complex. Be patient trying to loosen the nuts and bolts.
