Ok now i cut a window to access the nut. I cut the nut off. Prob should have made a slightly bigger access hole. But now I have the piece of bolt stuck between. Did I not cut enough of nut off? I tried pounding it out with a punch and a BFH but it’s not really budging. So what are my next steps? Grind it down some more? Keeping hammering away? And unfortunately I broke one of the two bolts on the other side too so I have to do it again on the other side.
just saw this, made the hair on my neck stand up . Were you able to get it out? The bolts I cut off looked about the same, at that angle, leaving a goodly chunk still stuck in there. Many many drill bits & pounding away with the BFH/punch to get them out. Then the new nuts wouldn't seat correctly due to the odd angle so I had to get in there with the grinder to level it out for better surface contact for the nuts. Just one ass-ache after the last with that job.
To answer your question, all of the above, keep grinding, pounding, hammering, drilling & cursing & eventually you'll break free & see daylight through those holes :campeon:
