If you get the bolts out and the hub is frozen in place, try using a bolt and nut as a jack screw as shown in this thread:

Look at the open end of the socket (the end that fits over the bolt head) and you will see the first 1/16" or so is a chamfered lead-in section that does not fully engage the bolt head. You can grind the end of the socket down until that lead it is gone, and the flats that engage the bolt head are right out to the end of the socket.
If this does not address your issue I may not understand the problem. Take a couple of pictures and post them so we can see what you are encountering.
