Soak the bolt with penetrating oil, you may also need to heat it up. Clean the threads good with a wire brush.

Get a good breaker bar and start pulling. This one actually came off with little effort.

There's a bolt and a few rivets holding this on. Get out your grinder and grind off the heads. Then use a hammer and punch to remove the rest

Try to clean up the area.
