door striker removal

[drewboy23]

Does anyone have any idea on how to remove the cage nut that the stryker bolts up to? I'm swapping in some late model cherokee doors and have to remove the stryker nut. Its impossible to get to and its in the way for a new mounting bolt? :wall:

i just took a chisle/wedge to it and bent it back and forth til it broke the spot welds. here's a small bit of info

96- cherokee door, pretty sure same as mj

 

after welding up old holes and made new, kinda ugly cause i reamed the holes a bit but u get the idea. i made the holes a little bigger so i could adjust where it sits.
