Hey there. New to the forum, new to the 99 Sport I just recently purchased. Question about the U-Haul 2” hitch installed. Its rusted. Badly. So I removed it last night because my plan is to install a new one. The three drivers side bolts came out. The passenger side bolts not so much. Broke the heads off all three. I have yet to pull the rear bumper so I can’t really see what’s going on inside the uniframe. Research has me confused. Will I be up against nuts welded to the frame? Or is there a nut strip in there? I also read that it could be a nut strip riveted to the frame? I have yet to unbolt the exhaust hanger, or the other bolt for the fuel tank skid. At this point I’m afraid to keep snapping hardware and want to get that bumper off so I can look down inside there. Please tell me I’m not screwed by breaking off those three hitch bolts?
