The anchor bolt cap for placement over an anchor bolt and nut assembly has an anchor bolt nut enclosure with bottom and top sides, a tubular anchor bolt enclosure member with bottom and top ends, and an end cap with a closed top side and an open bottom side. The distance between the tubular anchor bolt enclosure member bottom and top ends is variable. The tubular anchor bolt enclosure member top end is connected to the end cap open bottom side, and the bottom end is connected to the anchor bolt nut enclosure top side. The anchor bolt nut enclosure bottom side can have a groove containing an o-ring, or a bottom flange member with a groove containing an o-ring. The anchor bolt nut enclosure top side can have a flange. The connection means can be thermal or chemical welding, or mating threads. The method of using the anchor bolt cap comprises determining the length of the tubular anchor bolt enclosure member, cutting the tubular anchor bolt enclosure member, attaching an end of the tubular anchor bolt enclosure member to an anchor bolt nut enclosure and another end of the tubular anchor bolt enclosure member to an end cap, and using a slide hammer to place the anchor bolt nut enclosure onto an anchor bolt nut. The anchor bolt cap may also be removed using a slide hammer.
