2 grunts and a good fart always seem to work for Rubberfrog.

WD-40 can't hurt though, or a penetrating spray. Where are the bolts at?

You might have to use a screw extractor to get those out depending on what they're for and where they're at

do you have a oxyacetylene torch? If so heat the bolt a little then loosen, works much better than WD40

Cutting is the quickest way, a alonger way would be to get em drilled out then pulled with an ez-out. If they are not flush you might be able to get a bite on them with vise grips and get them out that way.

You should be able to get a grip on them with a pair of vise grips and get them out. I had to do that to a couple when I pulled my air dam off for the bull bar

That or just pull real hard and they will just slide out of the plastic air dam...If you dont mind the air dam not being able to be reinstalled...
