Core Support and Front Bumper Removal

First put penetrating oil on all the bolts I could reach. All the bolts came loose easy, except for one of the core support front fender bolts. I believe during build the welded nut on the fender was broken loose. It just turned when trying to remove, so used grinder with cut off wheel to cut head off. Tools pic is shown below, pretty much used 1/2 drive 6 point sockets to break bolts loose. Thirty and 24" breaker bars were used to loosen bumper bolts. I took the bumper and braces off as one piece. Did this based on rear bumper experience e.g. The actual bumper bolts with SS caps on the heads broke. Wanting to save these bolts, left them on for now giving me more time to soak them with penetrating oil.
