Cut it off.

Rip it off.

Just get the thing off.

Most the cosmetic stuff on 1st gens have a tough time looking pretty after coming off.... Mud Flaps, Running boards, Decals, Trim for the removable top. Its old and it breaks, puck it.

Soak with some kind of penetrant - PB Blaster, WD-40, etc, etc... and let it sit for a while before you try again.

Did you try the usual WD40/Liquid Wrench routine? How about heating the bolts? All else fails, you can always use a nutbreaker...
I'm looking for a set of 1st gen running boards, BTW, so if you're not ripping them apart and they're in okay/good condition when you're done, please let me know.
