While I don't know for sure what he meant, either, I thought he meant
he welded a nut onto the sheared bolt stud in order to be able to put
a socket on it and back it out. Not that he welded a nut onto the
mount location. I didn't get the idea that his threads were screwed
up, just that the bolt was sheered.
