removin the twins because of this

got stuck because of a stripped nut.. never seem to fail when removin em..

just had the bad luck of it happenin on one thats out of reach of a vice..

although it was my fault.. bad angle and power tool equates to hell...

as you can see.. couldnt use the extra nut trick.. also didnt have room for a dremel.. drill or a hammer to force in a smaller socket..

other option was brasing or weldin a nut but as you can see.. no thread at the end to use
