I'm not clear, so I'm not sure what to suggest.
If you've got the bolts out and she's not coming loose, best advice is a BIG hammer.
If it's the bolts not breaking loose, you shouldn't be afraid of heat or any of the usual remedies for frozen bolts. You[r'e not going to hurt that wheel any with the heat it takes to break a bolt loose. In fact, the threads the bolt goes into are on the hub, the end of the differential shaft. The idea with heat is to let things heat up and expand and break up the structure of the rust. I've had a lot of luck in similar situations with heating the bolt head (or the other end, if I could get to it) and then letting it cool down to where my penetrating oil of choice wouldn't just sizzle when I put it on, and letting it draw the oil in as it cools.
There's a gazillion thread on this, so the search engine here can be pretty frustrating, and I won't send tou there. But a common trick is to do the heat and penetrant thing and then try to actually try tightening the bolt before trying to loosen it. Rust is a crust. It's strong, but it doesn't take much to break it up.
