I was just curious to see as i just removed the frame and am priming and painting everything as we speak but during the removal i had all the bolts come out but one! theres always one it seems no matter what. Its the far back right bolt where the back bumper is that had to be cut to drop the frame so now half the bolt is stuck in the spinning nut and i cant see a way to get to the nut to remove it to put a replacement bolt what does(has) anyone do(done) to get this bolt out and what would you replace it with, but 7 out of 8 aint bad ;)

Both of my rear ones broke. I plan on cutting 3/4 of a square in the sheet metal, bend it down, weld in a new cage not, and then bend it back into place and weld up the cuts.
