Hold the back of the rivnut with pliers - not too tight or you risk distorting it, unsrew bolt, gently retap with 2nd taper tap, then either reset with tool, or 3 flat washers and a new bolt with grease, hold back of rivnut and reset with spanner.
Good luck! Keith |

Yes, don't squeeze the rivnut too tight or it will clamp onto the bolt even tighter. Steve.
