Is there a way to weld this captive nut? Cut frame rail and have limited access


Recommended Posts

Cut a cross in the top of the bolt head with a 3" cutoff wheel in the die grinder, then break the head off with a BFH & chisel.

copy, i'll go with that if one more welding try doesn't work.  BFHing sounds good! LOL

 

row about welding some thing to the nut, so when it rotates it will bump into the frame rail,

that's the plan if the one last welding attempt doesn't work.  i'm going to weld a U/J nut in place, or old wrench or flat steel plate to a nut.

 

***Thank you very much for helping guys, I feel like I've got a good game plan and some more options for another go when I get back to it on Tuesday.  Will report back then.
