          Drill it out to remove the pressure on it and then try to get them out after the bumper is off. Bolts only stay in due to the pressure that is being exerted on the head of the bolt. Remove the pressure and it should unthread by hand, IF the bolt is not stripped.

          If all else fails, you could drill it out, remove the bumper and then just a get a new shock for that side. I'm sure someone on here will hook you up with one.

              If you could wait a month and half you can have all the stupid US crap off mine except the front airdam. That's being saved.
