Have you ever removed a bolt and had the welded nut or the rivet nut come loose? I had one the other day do it to me.
I was working on a windshield wiper washer and the welded nut on the fender came loose. Darn.

Opened the hole slightly and ground off the welds
Broke out the D-100-MIL-1 Blind Fastner Installation Kit that I picked up at GL a couple of months ago.

I had some 5/16" - 18 rivet nuts that I had bought years ago and never used. Perfect fit for the hole.

Installed the gun and ten pumps of the handle and I have a new mounting hole.

Took longer to get the hole ready for the nut then it did to install the nut itself.
