With the incredible difficulty the original bolts were, I decided to just buy 
all new ones, plus the plastic bushings. Some of the bushings were really 
difficult to get off. The original bolts were almost seized, so I bit the 
bullet and put in a $200 order in. Mind you, part of the $200 was for shipping, 
and some other things. 

Hopefully the weather will improve a bit, and with the newly installed garage 
heater, I can get the garage temp up to a workable degree to take a stab at the 
thrust washers. Oh boy is that going to be fun.
