Replacement of the Weld Nut or Reinforcement

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

  2. Drill out two 8 mm (5/16 in) diameter access holes adjacent to the weld nut clearance hole.
  3. Thread a length of copper welding wire through the clearance hole and position it to secure the weld nut and washer.

  5. Metal finish the welded area as required.
