About 50 whacks with a BFH on concrete barely made a difference, so I have to take the U bolts on post to the auto craft shop whenever I can. Ill post pics when done for anyone interested.
I used a bench vise with filed microfiber rags over the threads to bend them in. careful not to overbend cause bringing them back out was a different story, lol
