List,
What methods have folks used to remove a partial bolt from a caged nut on a
TR3 fender? When I removed my rear fenders I used a sawzall to cut through
the bolt without 'touching' the body or fender. Now as I wish to replace the
bolt, I am somewhat puzzled as to the approach I'll take. As I see it:
1. I'm gonna try to weld something to the end and try to screw it out of the
cage nut, or
2. Drill a hole in the sliced-crossection of the bolt and use a 'BACKMEOUT
(?)' to unscrew it. (Do those things work? I never have had success with a
backmeout?)
3. With my sawzall, I'll slice through the cage and 'free' the nut and
broken-off bolt.
4. Use a 1/4" bit (or smaller) to drill out the broken bolt.
ANY OTHER IDEAS?
Remind you, the caged side of these undisturbed nuts/w/cages, is all but
inaccessible (although I can see them through the dog-leg.)
Thanks, Paul
