I think what Richard is suggesting is to find a nut with an inner diameter
smaller than the bolt diameter, then MIGing it through the nut opening to
the bolt and using the nut to turn it out I'd want to heat up the bolt
first as it looks like it's probably tightly fused by paint and probably
rust. OR ... it looks to be about .38 size. Just shoot it out of there.
