Archived from groups: alt>autos>toyota>trucks (more info?)

I'm trying to unbolt the rear bumper on an 86 pick up. . The bolts
have a round head and a small square right underneath the head.. One
bolt keeps slipping out off the sqare hole when I try to loosen it. Ive
WD40ed the bolt. The only thing I can think of is to try to cut the
bolt off, but there is very limited room.

If the square parts of both frame and bolt are intact and it's popping out of the hole because the nut is far enough along the shank to push it out from the nut side, you can wedge it into the hole. I might use a block of wood and a crowbar. A helper is a good idea as well. If the hole in the frame or the square part of the bolt is rounded you'll likely have to drill it out from the head side and replace with a convetional hex bolt. Center punch the head and use a low drill speed to keep the bit from wandering, and use a wrench on the nut to keep the bolt from spinning if needed. -- Mike Harris Austin TX >> Stay informed about: Help With Taking off Rear Bumper 86 Pick Up
