Trying to mount a trailer hit on my car (not the Box), and where there should be holes in the frame into which I can place the bolts for the trailer hitch there are...holes + bolts/nuts IN the holes. These, far as I can tell, serve no purpose whatsoever other than frustrating someone trying to install a trailer hitch onto the frame. Of course, this being a 2007 with 8 years exposure to NE Ohio weather (read: snow, ice, megatons of applied road salt), they're corroded all to hell. Been spraying PB Blaster on them daily for a few days, even applied some heat at one point.
Went over to my kid's house and got his impact out and worked on them awhile. One started to budge, but we discovered that the hidden end of the bolt has just a plate it's pulled up against---nothing to keep the bolt from turning. Which is what happens...turn the nut, the whole thing turns...no progress made.
What's the next step with something like this?
