I should not have tried to take those nuts off.

The studs are welded into the body with no access from the underside. I think they were welded at the factory before the rockers were installed.

Any body have a solution short of removing the rocker metal?

Thinking about grinding it smooth and using a sheet metal screw to attach. Not sure I can drill it, might have to wait until the engine is out again.
