Control arm rubber bumper.

Both of the bumpers are shot. I tried to turn it with some pliers and it fell apart. Now how the hell do I take this out? It looks like the nut is attached and cannot be removed. Any ideas?

Grind that part off the top until it falls through.

Weld a nut to it if you can melt metal.

There is a nut on a stud underneath. Wire brush, penetrant and time are your friend.
It has been in place for 58 years now.

That metal base has a square hex in it that fits in the bracket welded to the frame

Hold it down tight against said brckt and the nut below should spin off

Split what looks to be a welded nut and replace?
