what you are gonna need to do is gain access to the spinning "captive" nuts. i had this problem with the seat bolts. i used a cold chisel to cut away the box and then i clamped the nuts with vicegrips. made me feel like a hack, but it worked

I had the same problem you have.

I gained acess to the blind nut by cutting away enough metal to get to the nut. I clamped down with a vice grip and removed the nut.

I went back when all was done and patched welded the openings.

Good luck!
