Oh, and I have accidentally discovered a good way to deal with a seized well nut if you can reach the rubber portion.

Put the long-nose pliers/moles on the rubber portion close to the frame/panel lug, rather than on the portion with the brass insert. Turn the screw and tear up the rubber. As soon as it separates from the brass, it's easy to pull the remains through the hole and discard...

Of course, this'll happen eventually anyway with a really-bad one. But it can be much quicker to deliberately do it...
