Are these the main attaching points of the support. If so they are rusted to the frame and won't move. I have already found all the 5/16" bolts to remove. Any tips or help would be much appreciated since I would like to work on this project this coming weekend.
Remove hood. Remove outer and inner front fenders. Remove two large bolts and rubber isolators attaching core support to frame.

The problems are usually the two large bolts, as you found, and the four bolts on the leading edge of each plastic inner fender, particularly the ones under the battery tray.
