Default RE: Blind Nuts

ORIGINAL: Redmyers

The blind nuts for the engine mount are just spinning in the firewall, any suggestions on how to get them out. Turning the bolt doen't work.
Here are a couple possibilities. If you can get to them from behind, try a small pair of pliers, vise grips, or anything else to get a bite on them. I've also been able to get them to bite by using something to pry the bolt up a little while Iturned it. If all else fails, cut the head off the bolt and push them through the firewall. A dremel with a cutoff disk would make short work of this.
