67 Mustang Steering Column Bracket

Here is my head scratcher, some time ago I swapped out my clutch/brake support bracket with roller brngs etc for the cable clutch.

I snugged down the studs into column support/brake clutch bracket. Worked great, but after driving I noticed a little play in the column so I snugged em some more and the nut inside the brake/clutch support bracket starts spinning inside the assembly. Cant tighten, cant loosen!

I have another brake/clutch bracket, but really dont want to pull it out again now, I will do that when I strip the car for painting etc later.

Anyone got a quick fix or way to remove/replace the threaded stud/nut - again, not looking to replace that whole thing right now.

Thanks

If you remove the gauge cluster you can get access to the top of the "cage" that the nut is held in by. I would then try to jam the nut with a large flat bladed screwdriver or similar. OR if a bit of the stud is showing clamp a vice grip on the end and tighten/loosen as desired. My cluster is out on my '67 so I had a look and it is quite easy to access it.

Thanks, I can see the stud end, but the whole mess is turning inside the cage assmbly.
The guage cluster route sounds like a good way to go, thanks Capt.
