   Replacements are available for a couple bucks at the auto parts store.  Don't   
   waste any time trying to save old rusty ones, just use boltcutters on them,   
   toss the pieces, and replace them.  You've already wasted far too much time.   
   Put never-seize on the threads of the new ones too.
