John, I think that I will get the bolts, I hope that they did not
locktite them, it is a scary thought. I have two options, one is that
pipe with a welded on bolt, and another is a breaker bar. I have a big
case of allen wrenches, maybe 40 lbs, so I have a lifetime supply of
any inch size I want.

Heating to 300 F or 150 C will normally loosen the Loctite.






On every bridgeport head that I have seen there is a tapped hole for an
eyebolt designed for lifting off the head. Also if you use a chain to
lift put a slab of wood between the chain and the forklift tong. It
will keep the chain from slipping. Glad you didn't get hurt when it
dropped.
