Nice job Kerry. The real PIA is when they break flush

Nice Job but bet it was not easy....

Lance, it was broken flush!
It takes patience and persistance. Experience helps!
I place a washer over the bolt hole then weld and fill up to top of washer, then place a large nut with hole big enough to clear weld, then weld nut to other weld. Let cool and start tapping on wrench to turn out. Took me 2 times to get this one.

Novices might want to get "X-Tractalloy 1/8" electrode rods" to try this. That is what it is made for!!
