4X4 floor shifter
I went to put into 4 hi and when it did i wanked the stick right out of the floor.
I went under to look and the bolt that holds it to the linkage broke off. Can someone tell me if the nut is welded on because i cannot move it and i can't tell if its welded due to rust. An exploded view would be great of the 4x4 likage setup for a 97. I was laying in 2" of ice water trying to see what happened and now i know. I just cannot see if the nut is welded in place or not.
Thanks guys.

I see that the nut is in fact welded to the linkage. I tried to drill it out and did a crap job and drill bit exited out the side of the nut. I removed the shifter from the truck and drilled another hole below the one that has the nut welded to it and tried to bolt another just below it. But each time i try to shift into 4x4 it simply loosened the nut and bolt i put in. Does this nut need to be welded in order to work properly.???????
