I had my cousin hold the bottom with a pair of vise grips then tried to put my 6'2' 290 lbs of strength behind it.

IT would not budge ...until the bolt snapped in half sending my hand into some sharp sheet metal on the radiator support giving me a nice gash on two fingers and bruising (felt like broken) knuckles.

Thus, I too would suggest cutting them off unless you have a good pair of padded gloves.
