PB Blaster!! just spray it on and let it soak for a few minutes on the nuts. The longer it sits the better. As for the nuts...uh...dunno

Took the words right out of my mouth! As for the bolts, local fastener suupply house should be able to help.Maybe not chrome but they should have Zinc bolts that will work.I don't know the size and pitch so unless someone else knows that you'll nedd to save one for them to look at.

Yep. 10mm x 1.5. You might be able to get new stainless steel nuts from Mazda.
