Tips on getting the plastic covers off the underside...

... and getting them back on again?
On both my '96 Aero and '96 CSE, the bolts that hold the plastic panels on under the front of the car are largely rusted to their captive threaded inserts, except that after a bit of turning effort, the inserts are no longer captive!
To get the LH wheel arch liner off the Aero and the RH liner off the CSE, I had to cut the very front bolt that hods three panels together. I can live without this one. However, on both cars I was unable to remove the cover under the radiator to access the drain plug. Again, no problem as I removed the hose from the water pump instead and pointed it downwards to drain the radiator.
However, I am shortly to replace the front bumper on the CSE and from what I can see, I will need to remove the front underside cover. Any tips on removing this (the bolts are only accessible from underneath) and on how to re-attach it? Are there any fixings that I can fit that won't rust up again? Are these things available from a Saab dealer?
I haven't even looked at the situation on the '95 yet, and expect it to be just as bad...
