If you can locate new bolts, just cut the head and threads off and slide the spring out.

I was meaning, use the torch to cut the head/thread then slip the spring out. Manual labor isnt good!

I have had good success cutting harden bolts with a die grinder or 4 1/2 angle grinder and a cut off wheel. Torch sure will do it as well Ed ke6bnl

I have used a skil saw with a metal cut off wheel(cheap at a hardware store) to remove spring bolts in the past, it worked much better & faster than a sawzall. If there's room for it. Good luck
