"they" cut the frame because too must work to pull the rear off.
You already have done that so no point.

If the metal over the float nut or nut itself is "dead" then need to cut/grind the metal... To replace the nut w/ above as well even if bolts come out normal.

Small drill bits and more could do that.

Dremel w/ flex tool could likely do that but flex tools don't like max speeds that most rotary tools can make. (A lot of "bits" and more hate high speeds too but very few give directions about best speeds for whatever.)

Sharp chisels could work too. Dull and chisel bends the thin metal way before tries to cut.

I got the parts out of the frame and it went a lot easier than I anticipated. I wanted to show what they look like for anyone else who might be doing the same thing.
