I am puzzled.

If the bolt which goes thru the welded top nut is already out, then why do you need to remove this rusty nut now?

Why not simply run a tap thru this old nut, thus recutting the threads, and then just use a new bolt?

I want to replace everything with SS hardware so the old nut has to go.
