I wouldn't continue to try the pliers - you'll strip the nut for sure. Those are 10mm, I think. Borrow a ratchet from a neighbor or a friend. Do you have an adjustable wrench - that would probably work, too. Once they come lose they should free the rest of the length of the bolt very easily - by hand even.

for my first hood I put 4 towels on the floor and left a square in the middle where I was going to make the hole. I took the hood off and layed it upsidedown on the towels, I got out a chisle and an hammer and I removed the brace under the hood to expose the flat metal. just use the chile to life the brace high enough so that you can get some tin snips and cut it off. I also used the chisle to cut the hole in the hood... just hold the chisle so that one of the sharp edges touches the metal and the other edge is slightly raised... when you hammer the chisle the angle of the blade will cut the metal better then if you held both corners of the chisle on the metal.
