Ouch, if yours are anything like mine were you will end up ringing them off
or drilling them out.  After that you will pull the fender and take it to
the body shop and say "Fix this" 

If you still have something to grab onto, try a breaker bar, or vise grips.
I found that a manual lever-type action can apply more sustained torque than
an impact.

Installing the fender beading and need help in finding a tool out there that
makes removing the screws (inside the boot) that holds the rear fenders
tight a little easier than a simple impact driver? I've soaked the nuts and
my cheap impact driver and did break two free, but that's it....

Appreciate it
