Rear Bumper Trailer hitch install

[Speedbump]

The Hidden Hitch reciever mounted up fairly well but, when reinstalling the new bolts for the reciever in the factory location (it sandwiches the bumper brackets) it appears that the captured nuts (inside the frame) have broken free and are rotating. I can not torque them at all.

Other than cutting thru the bed, down into the frame rail, has anyone got an idea or fix.

If you remove the bumer from the bumper mounts you can access them from the end

Or, if those are seized, take the bed off.

 

 

Makes it a snap.
