Rich, Very good technique suggestions. I am first checking that I have the correct die before I cut the nuts off. Thanks again, Marvin

Rich, I am stuck with using the same bolts, just have to figure out how to tighten a bolt without access to it's head; thereby my plan of degrading enough of the bottom of the bolt to grip and tighten. There currently is so little amount of threading below the nut that no grip is possible(on either bolt). Here I am considering cutting the frozen nut and proceed from that situation. I will take your advise and obtain some teflon material to make washers for the contact point. Thanks Marvin

OOps the image came across rotated. The bolt is ABOVE the tire.

Update on bolts - Gaffney advises that the heads of these bolts are spot welded by Winnebago. Since I see no thread changes, that suggests that the welds were broken during assembly and there is no access to the heads at this time. The amount of bolt showing suggest that the bolt head not only is loose, but also has pulled through from the top of some hidden beam to the bottom of that same beam. My plan is to either loosen the nut or cut it off, then grip bolt from bottom and tighten as much as possible. My hope is that the aluminum beam will not allow head to pull completely out. May be a while, as I will take my time. Have made last use of RV for the winter. I am in Central Florida and have daily access to my unit. Thank All for your inputs.

Thanks for reply. Facing rear dual, I see a stud to the left front of the tire and right rear of tire coming out of the frame. Looks about 3/4 size and have big square dock washers. Neither nut is touching up to the frame/washer. The other side of coach is tight. Is his an alignment thing or just a frame bolt not holding body on?/ Thanks

Am member of FCOC, but cannot find service phone number. On road and noticed 3 bolts that are not near to touching bottom out. THese are seen behind rear wheels on my coach. Want to see why and if I should tighten myself.
