Geez man, you just going there with one socket or what? They are 18mm simple as that. The brackets have a 15mm head on one side down by the frame(18 on the other), but the 15's are part of a special welded two bolt anti spin connector.

and a whole can of pb-blaster or other penetrating oil
i'd also recommend an 18v impact wrench. saves strain.
