Hi all,
I picked up a Genesis Silver B ('05??) and started my first restore (to be a keeper along side my GenII LX E-240). I've managed to get everything apart from the frame. That cross member was severely rusted so I had no issues removing the firebox from the frame.
Anyhow what is the best approach to get this bolt out based on these pics. Should I angle grind the bolt off flush to drill out? Is there a chance I can somehow rotate it out? I've PB Blasted it a few times already. Also, if drilling out is the only option, do you guys drill out from the inside out? Or from the outside in? I've already researched the replacement strategy SS carriage bolts and nuts with anti-seize facing out (thanks LMichaels).
Thanks for any advice! Looking forward to restoring this Silver B and comparing its performance to my pseudo-USA-made LX.
