Bumper bar off, classic 98 car?

Bumper bar off, classic 98 car?
Going to try replacing mine, the one on is slightly bent and when I put my new bumper on I want it right.
Any tips? A local bodywork guy has told me that they are a PITA to undo the 17mm bolts without shearing them off? CAN you get at them to use WD40 etc? If you take the bumper skin off first?
Is heat a good idea?

yes if the captive nut comes off then that could be a pain to remove but they are pretty well welded to the bumper bar..
if it goes tight when unscrewing just play the thread, wind in, back out etc dont force it.

Thanks for all the replies.
My question stemmed from ta mate who has a paintshop, he has one, a 96 plater, started to take the bumper support bar off, one of the bolts was tightening, so he bottled it, just removed the skin.
As I said, I want a new one as mine got SLIGHTLY bent in early days

I've got a bumper bar sat down work ready to change it but haven't found the time to do it as yet.
