I am planning on havening my concrete stair case in front on my house redone in stone. I have some friends of the family who are masons that are willing to do the work but need me to remove the iron railings. The railings seem to just be bolted on with some type of square head bolt. They are rusted and have no idea how I will remove them. Fist off will they even screw off before I waste my time or is it some type of stake with a square top that just gets cemented? If it should screw off what tool would work best? I just tried for a second to use an adjustable wrench but when I pushed since the bolt head is so old and rusted the wrench just slipped off and started to strip the head. I don't now what to do any pointers and how to approach this?
There is also I place near by that sand blasts and paints the rails so I want to have that done, which is another reason I need to take them off.
I would suggest cutting the head off the bolts with a sawsall. This would allow removal of the railing and better access to the bolt that remains. This could be removed from the anchor that it screws into with a pipe wrench or large pair of channel lock pliers.
