First of all, the nut is part of the bottom plate. If you have gotten the bolt loose, and out, you simply need to leave it part way threaded into the nut and tap on it to seperate the two halves. May be a little trickier with the cab still on, but Im sure it can be done.

Some of them are pretty much imposible to seperate where they are rusted together.

Yup. All I've seen are rusted together and I've had to drill out every one I've ever messed with...

Just went through this battle with my right rear cab mount, and what a battle it was. I got it apart, but it was destroved in the process. I am about to order a new one, and finish it up, but I an going to wait till after the holidays to do it. Its not a daily driver, but a fair weather toy which works for me.

when doing the teardown on my 79 , i ran the bolts back in as mentioned above, but it took more than tapping. I had to beat the living s@#%* OUTTA THEM. the bolts were rusted into oblivion anyway as were the mounts , so gonna replace anyway theyre not that expensive
