NCRS Members,
I have successfully removed 6 body mounts off my 70 Stingray (3 normally, 1 snapped, 2 cut bolt heads... for those who care) and am stuck on #3 & #7.
3 & 7 are the body mount bolts directly behind the doors, access through the access panels in the front of the rear tire wells. I can not see any way to access the nuts.
After soaking, heating and cleaning, it appears that the bold heads have rusted to a size smaller than the 5/8 original bolt heads. I can't get a socket on that will grip the bolts.
Does anyone have a recommendation on how to remove these two body mount bolts so I can finally lift the body?
Cheers,
