My bolts on the shocks were stubborn as well; what I did is bought a 3/4" stubby wrench and used a soft face mallet to strike the wrench. I also made sure to take the weight off of the swingarm so I was not trying to remove the bolts under the load of the rear tire.
Took about 20 minutes to remove both bolts; I also re-tapped the threads where I removed the bolts and ran the bolts through a die to remove the red locktite that was on them - made installation much easier.
Good luck
