I don't know how much help I can be but to say... If the nuts
aren't too pretty anyway, just use a big pipe wrench and
dispense with the special tools.
As far as heat, I would think the ideal solution would be to
heat the area around the nut while somehow keeping the nut as
cool as possible as opposed to heating the nut itself. That way
the hole expands, but the nut doesn't. Although any application
of heat will likely help to at least get things "moving".
