Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Yes, had a couple body mount bolts snap, or have to be cut off.
If you look closely in the last picture above, you'll see a small square metal tab sticking up on the raised area. We had to cut that on 3 sides to get at the caged nut, then cut the cage, remove the nut with busted bolt, heat the nut cherry-hot, then removed the broken bolt. Put the nut back in the cage after cleaning the threads, and weld the cage shut again.
Other methods may work depending on if the nut spins in the cage or not.
