    Hey SimpleOne, it was about 10 months ago so about 20 builds ago but from memory I used a round sandpaper bit on a dremel and just slowly sanded away where the nut sits now, didn't need to remove much timber, just enough to get the nut on the thread. A spade drill probably won't work and you really need a small pilot hole or it could go anywhere and cause damage.
    If you don't own a dremel I'd use the largest drill bit you have and very carefully try and remove some timber near the hole. It doesn't have to be a tidy job as it will be under the cover and probably under copper shielding. Just angle the drill as much as possible (put down some protection like a sheet of cardboard on the body) and gently drill out the perimeter
    Wow 20 builds ago! haha that's a lot! For now I've already jammed it so tight that it won't come out so I may try next time. Thanks for the help!
