hey guys i've got an issue with my 77 CJ5 . i'm taking the body off of the frame and am having problems with the body to frame bolts. i was figuring that the bolts being frozen from rust would be a problem so i used some rust buster on the bolts and let them soak in it over night. only thing is now when i went to break them loose the nuts that were welded to the body in the channels that aren't supposed to break loose, have.
what do i do? the only way i see to get these bolts off is to cut holes in the body so i can get some sort of wrench on to these nuts and get them off. but how do i fix the issue when i have to put the body back on?? i really can't leave holes in the body. i would assume i would have to tack weld some nuts back in place of the old ones and re weld panels back in place.
is there a better method to do this?? a better way to fix this?
