Are the nuts rusted solid?! I had this problem when the garage fitted the springs to my '94 Corsa.
In the end, after breaking two socket bits  , we ended up heating the nuts with a blowtorch, and undoing them a little whilst red hot, then cooling with water asap. Got it done

leave the car on the deck whilst you loosen the nut, usually works for me. Or get a mate with an airgun to buzz them off.
