Bumper removal -5000 S



    I am currently having problems attempting to remove the rear bumper on my '86 5000 S.  I need to get this off to touch-up the paint right above it........a Qlister had mentioned earlier about rust above the chrome where it 'looks' to be mounted to the body -I unfortunately have the same problem.
    I have been trying to loosen the mounting bolts, but they don't want to budge.  I've tried WD-40 on them, a couple of times, and then got to the point where I tried to use vise-grips -that didn't work.
    I don't want to strip the nuts, but I DO NEED THIS OFF!  So if I could get some info on the 'easy' way to remove a stubourn bumper, it would be much appreciated.....I guess, even just having the 'cover' removed would be enough, if it's easier
                                                    Thanx
