Default Help!!! Stuck on Brawler Rocker install!!!

So I am down to the last step of the install. I have the body armor mounted and now I am trying to take out the three body mount nuts and washers to install the final piece. The body mount nut seems to just spin and spin and is not coming out.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should get these out? Will I have trouble getting them back in? Thanks for your help.

So I read that I can hit the nuts with a rubber mallet to get the threads to catch when re inserting them but I am clueless on how to get them out.

On mine, I got them loose and they were just hung up.
I had to pull down on the bolt while spinning it.
Opposite going back in.
Hopefully that helps.

X2... pry down on the washer with a screwdriver while loosening the bolt.

Had it happen to me. On mine, it was the "lock-tight" that was all gooped up. I had to romove the body bolts with an impact wrench. But, it was better than what I originally thought - that the catch nut popped its weld. Good luck!
