The captive nut inside the frame broke loose and now just turns when I try to unscrew the bolt. A couple others did likewise but I could get at them with cutting tools. I plan a trip to harbor freight to see what they have but thought I would throw it out to the group for suggestions.
thks in advance #3 left side
I got mine out by jamming a flat screwdriver between the nut and the cage. After soaking it for a few days, it came free. If that fails, get the grinder out and purchase a few carbide burring bits and cut away. Good luck. Jerry
I was thinking die grinder bit of some type was the way to go. I'll try that first.
thanks
The circular 3" diameter 1/16 or 1/32 thick metal cutting wheel will slice thru the head easlily. Buy several wheels and a adapter stud to fit the grinder.
No doubt the cutting wheel would be quick and already available to me and some kind of grinding bit would take a long time. I'll also try to pry under the washer since that might work before I get more aggressive. Just trying not to do too much damage as the more I take things apart the more things I have to fix going back together. Appreciate the suggestions and giving me some things to think about.
