Thanks for all the replies.
The value in knowing that others have been there and it's not as bad as
it seems can never be underestimated. Moral support of immeasurable
value. Things seem so much worse than they are until you stand back for
a while.
The hole in the frame of the 5KS is too small to accomodate a wrench,
barely fits a medium size screwdriver. After reading the posts, I think
the best way to do this will be to cut a hole in the frame large enough
to get a nut in there, drill out of remove the existing nut in the
frame. Put the bolt up through the old nut and attach it on top of that
with a new nut. Lister says it fits with old nut in place...sounds
reasonable since it is a pretty long bolt.
Will probably be doing it on Wednesday, ordered the bolts from Mac at
Clair ($3.25) but the order will only get into the system Monday.
Thanks again. If you think or remember anything else on the subject
please let me know.
Last time this happened was when I was helping a friend with his
Fiero...but evidently it's a common problem on the rear of those cars,
because when we pulled up the carpeting, someone had already cut access
holes in body for replaceing the weld nuts.
