This is where im at regarding it.
I've tried the vice grips before and the pictures dont do it too much justice, the angle at which to get at the bolts is not ideal. I can try again or recruit some buddies who might have some more strength on them.

I had an idea of possibly putting on a nut either equivalent or slightly smaller than the bolt itself, but applying Red Threadlocker (permanent kind). Letting it cure fully and then attempting to just remove it all at once with a socket or impact? Any thoughts on this? My immediate thought process for possible failure is just another break in the bolt farther down. Not only making the problem worse, but also probably piss me off more.


Welding is my last resort just because it is the most expensive, and a larger learning curve. If it does come down to that, is there any welder that someone might recommend? Been eyeing an Eastwood beginner type MIG welder, but what do I know.
