Title:

removing bolts to replace handles

Text:

-I would like to replace the wooden handles on a steel 6 cubic foot wheel barrel. There are 4 bolts that run thru the bottom of the pan into the handles. They have bolts with slightly domed tops and secured with half inch nuts. The threads are somewhat rusty. When I try to remove the bolts the whole units just turns. The top of the bolt just spins in the hole. I'm considering super glueing the bolts in place but that just doesn't seem right. How do I remove the bolts? If I can get them out, do I replace with more wood handles or look for fiberglass?
