How to remove this AC bracket?
 
Maybe a dumb question, but it seems this AC bracket has its nut welded to it. So how does one remove it without a mega dissassembly? TIA.

hi..very easy..use 17mm socket with a flex extension and remove...it will come off right away..
maybe just spray over it wd40..replace it with a nut and washer

Thanks Ivan, I'll give it a go. It seems like the nut and bracket are one, but I'll see if some extra convincing gets that sucker loose. Cheers!

Tricky to get on it, but just 17mm if I recall.

Thanks for the replies everyone-- I got it removed with a wobbly extension. It is an unusual nut that has a "bushing" of sorts that fits inside the bracket. Hard to explain but it isn't like a regular nut. With the corrosion on it, it was on pretty tight and looked like it was part of the bracket. Not the case, just a good dose of torque and off it came.
