rusted bumper bolts

[StatikPulse]

I've got a few rusted bolts holding the bumper to the frame rails that just won't budge. I tried WD-40, PB Blaster, hitting them, chiseling them, impact gun and nothing. It's getting to the point where the corners are starting to round off.

Before I drill them I thought maybe I should try torching them. My concern is all the chemicals I put on there. Don't want the thing to go up in flames. What can I do to make sure that does happen? Skip this step and go straight to drilling?

You really don't have that many chemicals on it. Whats there will burn up in a few seconds if at all. I've used PB blaster and other light oils plenty of times before I took the torch to something. Just make sure your not going to damage something close by with the torch itself.

Vice grips work 95% for me whether they come off or break off the head

Bolts are pretty big. If an impact gun won't do it I doubt vice grips will.
