Any tips on using an angle grinder to remove badly corroded factory sidesteps?

Hi.
Do you mean to grind your nuts off.. not literally 😂
Do you definitely have to use a grinder. I managed to get all but one bolt out with WD40 sprayed over a couple of days.
Or are you thinking of grinding the steps off to give better access to the bolts? 2010 D4 XS

I ground through where the bracket and steps 'overlap' which then meant I could take the sill covers off and remove the mounting bolts. Black 05 TDV6 HSE Auto
