The Dremel TOOL fits just fine. The HEAD cannot be turned to an angle that will allow for me to cut off anything. It is 90º off from where it needs to be. I could cut through maybe half of the nut but would end up either seriously damaging the control arm bracket or not being able to cut through about half the nut, which leaves me in the same place I am at this moment.

I wish there was a Dremel attachment that would allow the wheel to run parallel to the tool rather than perpendicular, like on my angle grinder. If it were set so that you could rest the side of the wheel flat against the control arm bracket to cut through the bolt/nut it would work.

All I can do is cut into the bolt stem laterally, or lengthwise. I need to cut it off. Further, the nut is a flanged one, so it is more like 25mm I have to cut through to shear it off flat against the mounting bracket.

EDIT: Just found this!

Looks like this is what will do what I need. Splitting the nut was merely a way to loosen the bracket from the bushing sleeve so I could pry them apart and get my angle grinder in there and not cut up my frame bracket.

This would allow me to do that. It might be too wide for the space but seems to be my best option.

Thanks for the ideas, Art.

In an aside, I am currently using your writeup as my guide to install a replacement fuel sender and pump into my 1990 740 (Bosch LH 2.4) and all is going well in that nothing has exploded yet. ;-) I hope to have that finished today. I just hope that next time my main pump and pre-pump decide that they want to be replaced that it will be BEFORE a fill up and not just AFTER a fill up. I wanted to drop the tank, but not when it is full!

While I have you here on the phone (so to speak) would you watch my video and comment on it? It is in regards to the spring rate of the sender arm.
