    This was a bit more elbow grease than I was anticipating but they turned out okay.

    Got the stud off but the welded nut came with it. So this bolt gets its own nut later.

    Didn't feel like scraping bolts. New hardware.

    What did you use to replace that nut you removed? Rivet nuts?

    Sorry for the wait. Here they are back on the truck. Used a nylon locknut for the one stud that broke off.
