Hi all,
I've been attempting to part the rather rusted spring mount from the axle (drum braked) and unfortunately the bolt sheared before the rust gave way on the thread. Upshot is I've got to get the bolt out, however I understand that the nut is captive to the axle bracket (not just by rust!). Is it welded to the bracket on the axle casing or something else?
Current plan is to grind the nut off and replace with standard loose nut on the underside of the bracket, any suggestions please?
Many thanks
Alistair
