    Any advice or share a thread on getting the bolts off?

    Feels like there’s a weld nut top side that came off and the bolt is just spinning once I ‘loosened’ it.

    Cut the bolt off if you can’t get a wrench on the busted weld nut. I got a zink plated 3/8 handle to replace the broke weld nut. Works great. mine (it) was one of the small bolts around the back of the front skid plate.

    Basically. It doesn’t keep spinning. I can also hold it over the existing hole.
