Default Re: AU Boot strut mount broken. how to fix?

I would say the nut is spot welded to the sheet metal.
If you cant re use the nut then perhaps clean up the rust and treat it and repaint then get a longer ball mount and drill the old nut a tad bigger then place a new nut behind the old one.
If the rust is too bad in the boot channel perhaps a stainless washer under the ball mount?
