Hey, so I'm in the process of removing my front bumper, and I've got everything removed except the retainer bar. The two bolts on the far ends of the bar, the 10mm ones are rusted in and just spin when I use my ratchet on them. How do I get them out? I've already tried wd-40 and only have rather basic tools.

use a grinder or a dremel to cut it off and get a bolt to replace it
