Gutting out the front clip to replace the DS Inner and Outer Fender and Core Support. Got my ass kicked by the 2 fender to cowl cage nuts upper and lower. Both opened up on me. I'm hoping I can get in the cowl with some long vice grips and bend the tabs of the upper back closed but the lower im guessing has to be cut out and welded back in. What a B%$ch!!!! Hope the pass side goes better. Soaking with some PB blaster.
Just venting.
Anyone with previous experience have any gameplan they can share or is it an "it is what it is" type situation?
Also looking for a bunch of random parts. I'll start a thread in the wanted section.
Thanks,
John

Had the same problem with the lower fender to cowl cage bolt on each side...ended up drilling two small holes in the bottom of the cowl and screwing in two sheet metal screws per side which kept the nut from spinning, then cut the head off the bolt and was able to drill out the bolt enough to get out with an easy out without ruining the treads in the nut...new bolts now screws in...not the best way but worked for me at least to get it apart...hopefully will work putting it back together...

《Rant》
Well FML I got one out successfully, so I'm 3 for 4 on broken cage nuts.
Where's Bro's blowing my brains out pic?
