I need some advice and direction. I have searched and have gotten answers...none have worked. The weld nut on the upper shackle bolt (drivers side) has broken from the frame rail. I have tried to go in through bumper access area, the nut is not standard...it's oblong. No go with a socket or wrench. Tried to cut the bolt with a sawzall on the shackle box and retrieve the remainder of the bolt and weld nut from the bumper access area. I have gone through 4 metal blades and I cannot seem to cut this sucker. They should go through like butter, but they aren't. I finally decided to go in through the cargo area...just hacked a big hole...no physical way to get a wrench in there for the nut....the nut is in a "pocket" a little lower. How have so many gone in through the floor and had success? Anyone with pictures or first hand experience with this issue...losing my mind. I also don't want to sacrifice strength in this area. Thanks!
