Yes, the nuts are supposed to be removable, but the wings on the nut, which prevent the nut from turning, have rusted off. The hole, where the wings extend, are too small for an open ended wrench to enter. So now the nut, inside the frame, turns as I turn the bolt from the bottom.
Yes I do have a new nut and a new bolt to replace the existing ones.
