[QUOTE="Brian, post: 433708, member: 19943"] So I started on my body mounts and drilled a small hole (enough for aerosal straw) into the box area. I use "Free All" for rust spray and let it soak for a couple days. Still broke the bolts trying to get them out. Used a 2" hole saw and opened the area up from the interior. Wire brushed the end of the bolt and welded a 5/8" nut to the end of the broken bolt. You have to use a larger nut so you can get a good weld in there. More "Free" while hot. Let it all cool down (while hot the bolt will be expanded) Used a breaker bar and wiggled it back and forth till it started moving. Used battery impact and it came right out. Will be using anti-seize when putting back together. Same for remaining bolts. The two at the rear will require a complete rebuild.[ATTACH type="full"]119204[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]119205[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]119204[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]119205[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]119206[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]119204[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]119205[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]119206[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]119207[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
