I took my gas tank off this weekend in preperation for the MPI install. In the process, I had to take my tow hitch off. I snapped both of the bolt heads off of the bolts that thread up into the frame ends. My dad says to drill and re-tap the holes, but I want to get around that if I can. I don't like the idea of heating the bolts with a torch, but I will as a last resort. I have thought about welding a nut on the end of the exposed bolt, but I'm worried that it will just snap off again next to the frame, then drilling it out will be a necessity. Normaly I would spray some penetrating oil on it and then let it soak in over night. Usualy, the next day the bolt would come off with vice-grips and a little umph. The problem I am running into is that the exposed bolt is comming out of the bottom of the frame. Is there a way to get that oil to penetrate with out constantly spraying it, or turning the jeep on its top(just kidding).
