Prolly hardened steel... go rent a puller from AZ or something and do it... Or try heating it up and then hammering it out... its splined so its gonna be hard to get out. Either beat or pull

Got a grinder? Grind the allen head off and knock it out with a drift, most times the heat from grinding will expand the mount itself and allow it to pop loose.
Theres not much holding it in there if the bolt's spinning, might come out if you hit it nice and square with a hammer also.

Very good ideas and i tried beating the heck out of the bolts and I bent the mount just a little but nothing major I'll fix that. Im going to cut both ends of the bolts with a sawzall and drill that s.o.b
