As has been said, plenty of wd40 for days before will help and use a good quality spanner, if possible one that grips on the flats not the corners of the bolt head. Then put copper slip on the bolt when re-assembling to help for next time.

This is a very good point, its better access with the wheels off but not a necessity.
