Replacing Flipper bats

Any advice for getting the threaded bolt off first? Not a great deal of room to get a hacksaw under there!



Not sure what you mean there fella? I assume you mean you cant get the nut off the threaded bolt?
 
Yeah, it's stuck fast and won't turn, and now the nut is flattened and won't fit a spanner anymore!
 
Use a big pair of pliers to grab the nut and twist it off whilst applying lots of pressure with the grip. Might need two pairs of pliers to get the job done.....



If you cant manage it with pliers, then it will need to be cut off with a dremel or similar tool. (Dremel with cutting disk will make short work of it)
 
Tried the pliers, think it will have to be the dremel next. You know when the simplest of tasks turns into a 3hour job.......
 
LOL... Yeah, some tenacity is needed for sure....
