Use lots of penetrant, 13mm standard 6 point socket, and a cheater bar for leverage.
If not, briefly heat the torsion bolts with a torch to soften the overused blue Loctite.

BTW, link title below is not directed at you, it just happens to be a good TT thread.
You're lowering the front so loosen the bolts. Important to check alignment after. GL

Also would not hurt to raise front of vehicle to take some tension off the bars, making the adjusting bolts a bit easier to turn.
