yes, the j-nuts can break off and spin. they have to be cut off. the pockets and new j-nuts are pretty cheap and really should be replaced, anyway.

If you have an impact wrench,you can stick a screwdriver,brake adjustment tool,ect. through the frame to prevent it from spinning up top,and keep giving it short bursts with the impact. Or cut it off like suggested above.
