bought a hitch to put on the mazda today (worst of both worlds, an import made by ford, but I digress)

this should be straight forward, right?
there are weldnuts already inside the frame rails, 3 big uns and one little un on each side

I managed to break off one of the little one, and two of the big ones, and im sure ill break a few more loose as I get to the other side

so, I guess ill bust out the angle grinder to get the bolts cut in half, then use it to open up the bottom of the frame rails, so I can get a wrench on the new nuts

kinda makes me wish id spent the 100 bucks to have it installed
 
85 bucks later, it's on

I was expecting the guy to say "fix your own mess" but I guess my money is green enough

I'm pretty impressed with the kid, he torched the bolts with the broken weldnuts off and fished some regular nuts in, so no chopped up framerails
