PB blaster and breaker bars should rank up there with the wonders of the world... helped me remove shackles on mooring anchors after sitting under saltwater for 8 months with a 1/4 rust covering... would most definitely work on the Jeep

If you have a Rubicon , the passenger side inner bolts will be harder as the swaybar disconnect is in your way. I had to use a universal joint socket to get the right angle.

+1 on the AeroKroil. Mine is actually starting to creep out the seams of the metal can at the bottom. The stuff is crazy good. If something won't come loose, drop some Kroil on it and drink a beer. By the time the beer is gone, the Kroil will have done it's magic.

A breaker bar and an 18mm deep socket and they came off so easy! Thank you to all for your help! XHD Front Bumper is on and it looks GREAT! Now just gotta figure out how the front license plate is going to go on (it's the light mount XHD)... I'm THINKING 3M automotive tape will do the trick...

I stopped at autozone and grabbed a pack of plastic plate fasteners. I plan on drilling a couple holes, snapping the square plate fasteners in and screwing in the plate. I don't really see another way that I will work at this point. No sure about the tape idea, but it might work.
