If you look closely in the last picture above, you'll see a small square metal tab sticking up on the raised area. We had to cut that on 3 sides to get at the caged nut, then cut the cage, remove the nut with busted bolt, heat the nut cherry-hot, then removed the broken bolt. Put the nut back in the cage after cleaning the threads, and weld the cage shut again.
Other methods may work depending on if the nut spins in the cage or not. </div></div>

I have heard about it but not seen it till now..

Can you grab a few action shots?

I am nervous to cut into my nice floor to do this so I want to make sure I am heading down the right road:-)

I have 2 or three at the back especially:-( I guess I cut into the trunk to fix them:-(

I have one where the area is rusty so I am able to fix it from the bottom...... (About a 3 inch rusty area around one mount so I need to fix it.

Sorry to reply all about me on your thread, but I see this stuff and absolutely have to know for myself:-)
