Dremel tool and lots of cut-off wheels.

I would use an angle grinder if I had enough romo to use it.
Otherwise use the Dremel. Replace it with a stainless steel one.

permanent end of problem.

dont forget to support whatever the carriage bolt is holding while the
bolts are swapped out

Now I am having an even worse problem with Agent. I cannot view
postings unless I hit the "Reply to message" icon. And I cannot see
any of my other newsgroups. I don't know what I did, but I don't like
it.

Can any of you using Agent tell me what I probably did and more
importantly how to repair it?

The only way I can find this one is by viewing all postings in the
newsgroup and then alphabetizing my sender and then subject.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I do own a high grade Dremel tool
with most of access aries. It beats me why Ryobi used carriage bolts
through sheet metal to begin with.
