Brake repair

So we have worked out we need a new master cylinder.

Fitted that, now we have to bleed the system, wheel nuts are absolutely stuck, tried many things like, oversoak in wd40 and a rattle gun, they will not move.

we have a torque multiplier as well but the socket walls are too thick, no space for it to fit over the nuts.

Any tricks out there?

thanks
