[AT] Removing wheel weights

[Dean VP]

Larry:

I would suggest using a gas axe. Probably the fastest, least destructive way
to get rid of the rusted bolts. Been there, done that on a @#$%^& Cub.

Subject: [AT] Removing wheel weights

I need to remove the wheel weights from the front of my Cub and am in search
of ideas before I get out the artillery. I don't know whose idea it was, but
they were put on with square headed nuts. The carriage bolts are either too
small for the holes or the holes are rounded off, because they just spin.
The nuts appear to take a 13/16 inch open end wrench that does me no good
except tell me the size. I don't have a socket that will fit and finding one
may not help since the bolts just spin. Current thinking is to remove the
wheels and drill/grind/chisel the bolt heads off.

Anybody have any less destrucive ideas?
