10 different ways you could attack those with positive results with plenty of YouTube’s videos showing you how.


whatever method you go with hit the bolts a few days before with penetrating fluid. Spray em in the morning, mid day and before ya go inside for the night.


Worse case, cut the head off, hit it with a center punch. Then drill and tap them out.
