I am replacing the running boards on my FJ80. She's a bit rusty (understatement). I decided to remove the brackets for a few reasons:
Question #1 - How do I repair this stud that was broken off?
The front and rear brackets seem to be rust-welded in. I have sprayed them down, but they don't want to budge and I dont want to break them off. Getting to it is VERY tough. The body mount is in the way. If I break those bolts off, there will be virtually no way of getting a drill in there to drill them out.
Question #2 - How on earth do I get those brackets off?
Question #3 - Those body mounts look rough also. Options?
- They are very rusty and I wanted to treat it with the electrolysis method (as I did with other parts)
- The middle bracket is bound to hit me in the noggin as I crawl back and forth under the car,
