Are the inter nuts welded on a 67 Chevelle for trying to take off the upper a arms to replace all the

Somebody might have tacked them in at some point. That's really a nice way to do it..

 

[djrosa]

I'm asking if these are done factory?
Do I have to cut them off are you kidding me

 

[oldcutlass]

No they are not tacked at the factory and yes you'll probably need to cut them off. In addition, you'll need to replace the knurled bolts that they are threaded on to.

I don't know what INTER nuts are but I would find it hard to believe that someone would weld the 2 nuts that are used for alignment to the cross shaft. The bolts that go thru the frame that these nuts thread onto are sometimes hard to push out as they are knurled and really hold the frame well. I suppose someone could have welded those to the frame at some point if you are actually talking about those bolts and not nuts. If you are talking about the nuts that are threaded onto the cross shaft (actually I believe the factory cross shaft uses a bolt not a nut - some replacements use a nut) - if they are welded to the shaft they would need to be cut off and a new shaft purchased. If I'm deciphering what you said above correctly it sounds like you'll be replacing the bushings so replacing the shaft at the same time is a no big deal.

Actually re-reading my response - the nuts wouldn't be welded to the cross shaft as there are probably alignment shims there. Are they welded to the bolts. Now I'm lost.

Thank you so much for your replies you are 100% correct I meant the bolt that goes through from the tire side to the back side I got the nuts off the backside I just can't seem to get the bolts to push through on the tire side so that I can get the a arm up and off..
I read somewhere that on 67 66 the bolts had a tack weld on the tire side to hold the bolt there just wanted to double-check and like I said again I'm sorry for the misunderstanding I truly appreciate all your guys's help I wish you all a blessed day going to other

Update everybody, 67 Chevelle bolts to the frame are not welded I used my impact wrench on the tire side and was able to reverse them right out and my upper a arm came right out I'm so thrilled thanks for all your replies and thanks for all your support have a blessed day everybody DJ

By doing that you wiped out the splines that the hold the bolt from turning. It now may be tough to tighten the nuts when somebody goes to align the car. Tough to get a wrench in there to hold the bolt when the suspension is all put together. I believe thats why GM did that.
