Removing nut from brass bushing
Removing nut from brass bushing
I have managed to try and unscrew a nut fsrim a brass bushing. Unfortunately the nut and brass bushing formed an intimate love match, bonded and all I succeeded in doing is getting the bushing free of the plastic.
So now the nut and bushing rotate together.
Any easy way of removing this and fitting a new bushing, before I go to a dealer. Apparantly I need some blind rivets.
Thanks

A photo of the offending part(s) might help folk to understand better what you're trying/hoping to do...
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

Guess it's a brass threaded insert in plastic?
Usually brass, - more expensive material that steel, but easier to tap which offsets this.
Is the screw brass?
Pictures would help.
