Installed lots of hitches on weldnuts on inner frames! Usually penetrant oil does the trick, C A R E F U L L Y tread the stud / bolt and that acts to cut into the rust/kreap and establishes the cut of the tread. I usually used and extra bolt so when this one gets distorted the actual one will work after removing the probe bolt. If you decide to tap, be advised these are metric and the size eludes me. Good luck...... Roland |

Yeah, you got to run a tap or old bolts up through them to clean them out. M12X1.75 IIRC. They will seem like small holes at first, but will open up once cleaned out. |
