When you remove the "slipper shaped" portion of the gravel shield, and
drilla hole abutinthe center of that, you can use a fairly large diameter
punch
(it has to be large so as not to expand the bottom of the bolt) and strike it
with a sledge hammer. I think I even use a piece of 2x10 with a hole drilled
in it to protect the body should I miss.
I did not weld up the hole, and I did not use a plug. The slipper piece
covers it up just fine.
