Snorkus question.

Post by _Aramchek_ »

So,uh is there a trick to getting that bottom bolt out,it turns and turns but never makes any progress.

Any ideas before I just cut the damn thing off?

I'm going to say you have some stripped threads or a captured nut that in no longer captured. Can you see the backside to see if that is the case?

I couldn't get around in where I could see very well today,and the light was gone by the time you replied. I'll take a look tommorow and see if either of those happens to be my problem. sounds highly plausible.
