might get lucky, but I'd start a regiment of soaking with your favorite "help it bust loose" product. Then there's always that thin little 4" round thing that loves to eat bolt heads.

I have a decent '72 step bumper I was thinking I'd like to get sand blasted soon. It has a slightest twist on one corner I think I can get straight, and need to do first. I got it at a junk yard a couple years ago. With minimal tools I didn't have anything for pulling it. I found a jack ratchet in a car that slips over the piece that goes into the jack, maybe lug wrench part? Anyway, it was the right size, 3/4" I think, and after borrowing a rubber floor mat from another vehicle, and not sure what held the other side (maybe a lug wrench) I managed to get that bugger off after a lot of effort, but the bolts weren't stuck. I think I did take some oil off a dip stick to help them along. After all that effort, especially carrying that thing out, I hope I can get that tweak out and have a decent bumper for very cheap. My plan is to have it chromed if I can get it perfect. If not, I'll sand blast and powder coat in argent, as factory
