ahhh the infamous one.

I have had almost every bolt in that location snap the head off on me I cut it out, grinded down the tack'ed nut and used a bolt + nut instead.

Good luck!

^exactly grind off the welded on nut and it should come out. use a new bolt and lock nut. did it to mine and have had zero problems.
