Post by: random on April 26, 2005, 08:04:46 PM

i was trying to remount my gas tank and i guess i broke the nut off the buttom of the tank because now the bolt just spins and i cant get it to back out.
anyone have any ideas on what i can do to fix this?
maybe i can cut the bolt out and reweld the nut into place? is there even a nut in there?
if all else fails and i need to get a new tank, what year gas tank will fit a 98?
thanks
