Hello Brian, I see you found your way onto the C&C List. Welcome.
Can you thread a nut onto the threaded rod? In other words, are the threads in good enough condition to allow yo to thread a nut onto the end of the rod that is sticking out? If so, can you get two nuts on there at the same time? If you can (you may have to grind one thinner to allow the second one to thread on) get some RED LocTite and put both nuts on there, holding the inner one in place with a wrench while you tighten the second down on top of it. Let the LocTite set then use the wrench on the inner nut to remove the threaded rod. Ken H.
