Lol, your "cut a slit and then stick a screwdriver in it" method in it is how the oral surgeon pulled my wisdom tooth with the curved roots.

First she cracked the crown off, then "dremeled" a "plus sign" into the tooth, and with three screwdriver twists, she was able to break the tooth into quadrants and yank the pieces out.

Yep the Archives are your best friends sometimes ..... I have done this method to 5 other fieros works pretty good just be patient while slitting the rusted nuts ... you will get them off as have I ...

take care

I grinded down redrilled 1/8th inch and welded a new high tension bolt... works fine ... the three others were in good shape

Just curious as to how your floor pans looked. Had to do the same process (after reading your method) on my 87 GT. Was this on a car you were scrapping? If your floor pans were rusted how did you repair? Thanks!

Great write-up! I too live in the "rust belt" area of Canada and had to contend with this issue. It's interesting how we have to get creative and remove our rusted hardware. I think any weekend TV car shows should do a few episodes of how Northern people work on their cars. I mean, lets see them try to remove control arms, cradles, etc with regular hand tools and no time lapse photography!
