I tried a dremel, an didn't get far, so I went to Wallie World and bought a 30 dollar table grinder. Took 60 seconds for all 6 with that beast.

Get a decent angle grinder and some cut off wheels. You will use this tool again!

I used a Dremel with a reinforced cut-off wheel (Dremel P/N 426). It took a while, but it worked.

Got one side done and ran out of daylight. Kind of a pain by yourself. Had to stuff paper towels in to hold the screws in; that and a car jack. haha. Next one should take half the time...

And all that discoloration is dried up mud. Had to have a bit of fun too

Use the box they came in to hold it up while you bolt. It worked for me!

That's actually a good idea. It's kinda floppy and torn up but I could tape it up maybe. I'll try that tomorrow morning. Thanks for the tip. I'm sure I looked like a moron trying to operate that jack with my legs while laying under there holding it up.
