Try hammering on a few different sockets and see which one fits the best. They are probably 12mm nuts and bolts.
If you cannot get them off with a ratchet (since they are so badly rusted) Then I suggest you break them off and just hammer out the broken stud/bolt and replace it with bran new hardware.
