I brought my coach home today out of storage to start to get ready for Southern Ill. In our last episode, I was trying to remove the overhead cabinets to install new drapes and the right rear had a spinning press nut. After prying while ratcheting to no avail and with the threads too recessed to get Kroil into them, I gave it a shot with the Milawaukee hammer drill on full high speed in alternating directions while applying pry pressure. The 7/16 head bolt finally got hot enough to spin in the thread and is out. That's one way to apply heat without a torch! Not touchable without a burn it was so hot. Now I have to JB weld the spinning nut and should be good. This might help someone with the same problem.
