Problem Replacing Air Tanks

[coyotegray]

I have two new air tanks I'm installing. When I go to remove the nuts holding the brackets on the rods/bold just spin. Looks like they are just crimped into the brackets with nothing to grab on to. What am I missing..? Is there a trick to this or do I just have to cut them off..?

Thanks,
Andy..

The threads probably stripped, its happened to lots of rusty bolts on my M109. You'll have to cut them off.

Ok, after cleaning the clay and dirt off the top of the brackets I was able to find the bolt heads... For those that have swapped the tank out, how did you get a wrench on the bolts at the frame...?
