Changing tips, broken bolt

[Jerzey111]

I scored some slanted carven tips. It was a nice day today and I decided to change them but since my truck is 2014 the orig tips and bolts are siezed (see pic). I sprayed with wd40 but it still broke. Any recommendations as how I should go at it? Cut the clamp with a grinder is my first thought.

Man I’d go get them welded on by a shop. Those look pretty seized up.

Get some penetrating oil. Spray it on and let it set and come back and spray more. Hit it with a torch and take it off with a impact wrench. Just another idea or just cut it with a grinder.

I cut my clamp off with a grinder, and peeled it off

It’s just a t-bolt so carefully cut or torch, reuse the clamp with new hardware.

If you don’t plan on replacing the dual axle back, welding is optimal.

This is probably what I will do. I don't want to spend $ I don't have to and since I already broke both bolts, looks like this might be my only option

+1 on the grinder... then just got new clips.
Carven actually shipped me the clamps/bolts for 10 bucks.

Think your truck is going to sound a lot heartier then before if you ever get those tips on. Good luck.

Thanks guys. Tips actually came with new clamps. I'll record before and after start up and post it here

Got them on. Easy with sawzall. I'm really happy with the look.
