Help Removing a Bolt
I am in the process of removing the skid brace/cage to replace it with a new one due to damage to the old. I have 3 of the 4 bolts that mount the unit to the frame but on the 4th one the nut that slides into the frame is also turning. Any one else ever have this problem, if so what did you do to get it out.
Thanks in advance.

I would try heating it up and then put a screw driver between the cage and frame to make it tight.You might have to hammer it in to make it tight enough.If worse comes to worse you could cut the head of the bolt with a rotary tool and cut off wheel.The insert and bolt shank will be easier to get at once you drop the cage.If you have to drill it out you could move up in size to the next biggest insert and bolt.
Good luck.
