assuming corrosion is the issue - and its the top bolt, beat on the nut with a hammer to knock the scale off. Use a wire wheel next on exposed threads, then use a penetrating oil like PB-Blaster. It will come off. You can buy new nuts from the dealer if you want the tags that lock them from spinning.
