Use a Hacksaw to cut the bolt off just under the nut. You will have to use new bolts, washers, and nuts anyway when you reinstall the toilet. Or if you have a small bolt cutter, that will work much easier than the hacksaw.

Firstly, heat can be flared with a mini gas gun at the wing nuts to loosen them, the metal will heat up, no matter how rusted and with a basin spanner or shifting spanner, adjust it to the correct size and turn the wing nuts off. If this is failing, squirt a few drops of lubricating oil onto the wing nuts and then try again with the basin or shifting spanner.

How do I Remove rusted nut from screw?

By using Q20 lubricant oil and a pair of water pump pliers. You can lube up the rusted nut, this type of oil really sets in and gets to those hard to reach areas and then you can loosen the nut with the water pump pliers because they grip really well. Otherwise cutting the back of the nut with a hacksaw blade will have to be used as option.

How do you get the seat off a one-piece kohler toilet?

Most toilet seats have a hinge that the top side that you see pops up or comes off completely. The bolt holding it on will have a large slot for a screwdriver in it. You should be able to get a wrench or socket on the nut underneath. If it is a metal bolt and rusted, you can probably use a hack saw blade between the hinge and the toilet and cut the bolt.
