Looks like I got a little torque heavy on a front sway bar bolt and cracked loose the nut on the inside of the frame. Can't pull it out, can't tighten it.
Here's my proposed fix....cut off the head of the bolt and push the stud/nut up inside the frame. I'm thinking I can drill out the hole to accomidate a grade eight bolt that I can fish down though the hole. There is a hole about the size of a quarter on the side of the frame I can fish the bolt into and then drop it down into the now drilled out sway bar bracket hole. I'll just spin a nut onto it from the bottom and hope it will snug up ok. What do you guys think? That's the best fix I can seem to come up with for now.
