GQ patrol y60 lwb 5th row body mount

[YBOT]

Im doing my body mounts on a beautifully kept 1991 ford maverick and the body mounts so far have been beautiful, no rust or corrosion.
The old loctite is holding for dear life and has spun the captive nut in the rear bolt (5th row).
Before i hole saw the hole larger and try get in there with my tig welder has anyone got a fix or has got out of this without these measures? Pics and help very much appreciated.

If i get no love ill update this post with pictures for any other unlucky sod chasing this issue in the future.

Cheers.

I seem to recall opening the access hole with a cold chisel, large enough to get a socket on it - ugly but effective and you hide it later anyway.

Is that gq or gu? I seem to have a bracket covering the captive nut stopping me from placing anything over it?

GQ, LWB, both rear most corner body bolts, total pig.

Hey mate, yeah they're a bugger once they spin. Had this happen to my old GQ and hacked it up and just smashed the socket through the plate over the top from memory. Definatly not ideal, not sure if theres a way around it, it is covered up but you always know its there and no longer pristine. .

Slap a bit pf protective paint on the cuts and cover it back up.

Hey Fellas cheers for the reply,

i took pictures through the process and ill post them up for future reference.
i took a hole saw and opened the hole up to the same size as the bungs in the front of the vehicle so i can get an oem bung and fill the hoole up (worked quite well).
then took a dremel and carefully cut the retainer plate out from over the captive nut.
I still couldnt get it to come loose as the loctite was holding tighter than a nuns nasty.
I removed the rear section of my exhaust and got my grinder up under and cut the bolt head off from the bottom and pushed the seized nut and bolt out the top.
i have bought replacement bolts and sourced nuts the same as is used on the front body mounts and a large washer to spread the load.
has come up quite neat and has ended up with a factory bung in the hole..
Now to tackle the other side. this time ill hit it with heat first before using a rattle gun to break the loctite and hopefuly it will come out like a dream.. lol wishful thinking maybe.
