Broken weld nut(s) - front seat/front bolts

[josephbow6]

Hello Jeepers!


I was trying to remove my front driver's seat this morning. Both of the front weld nuts that are inside the seat bracket has snapped loose. So now, when I turn the bolt, the nut inside turns as well.


What is the solution for this annoyance?


Thanks!

Cut the bolts off with a sawzall to remove.

Few options to replace. You can:
-
cut an access hole in the top of the bracket to hold a bolt/nut with a wrench on the inside while you tighten from the outside

-weld new nuts inside the bracket. May or may not require removing the bracket.

-replace the whole bracket. Will require drilling spot welds and rewelding a bracket back in. You can buy a replacement bracket.
