All good thoughts and advice. I should clarify that the bars are apart and the head end of each bolt is stuck in one of the bars. The bolts have but cut off somewhat so only 1" or 1/2" are exposed. the chrome is very good so I will avoid heat, not to mention the fact I don't have acetylene.
The elctrolysis sounds like a good idea so I may start there. Heard lots of good comments on its use. I have a 12v battery kicking around I use for my power winch. I will use that. I suspect sodium carbinate is easy to find? Drug store probably?
I'm surprised nobody suggested a 10 ton press to push the bolt head out. But I don't have one of those either.
Thanks for the time and effort to reply to this question. I will get back to let you know how I do.
