So after a lot of reading and video watching, im still stuck.. Rear bolt of the LCAs.

I completely cut off the LCA due to every bushing was bad.. So had issues and cut it off, gave me room to break the sleeve free from the bolt. Now they are broken free from each other, all the bolt does is spin, and spin and spin and spin.. Finally found a way to get my hands in the most awkward position and realized the welded nut, well isnt welded and spinning with the bolt..

Ive seen lots of people have the problem of the sleeve and bolt fusing together.. But what about this?!?! How in the hell do I get the nut to stop moving...

 

We have heard that one to. Seems cutting the bolt is the only solution. Once the bolt is cut you can lower the frame enough to get tools in there.

 

So do i need to put jack under the motor, hold motor up and undo both bolts to the subframe? Or should there be enough room if i just cut the head off this one side.. This couple hour job has turned into a huge PITA

 

That sound OK. Remember to put a board between the jack and the oil pan. Shouldn't have to worry about the front bolts unless you drop more than a couple of inches.

 

ugh, ok, this car has been a nightmare so far.. the "deal" we got on it, im starting to see why... they hid rear end damage, the whole thing is caked in dirt, in places dirt should have never been.. and all original parts.. yay!

ok, ill put wood on jack, lift motor slightly and i guess cut the head of this bolt off and see if i can get the other one to come free without cutting a million things.. i see i can order the replacement bolts, thats not a big deal.. BUT here is next dilemma.. So i get these bolts out.. How do you weld a nut back up there so this doesnt happen again?!

 

 

The bolt is captured, not welded. You might be able to get something in there to jam it.

 

​​​​​​​lol i like that one ^^^^ if i could ever talk the wife into it haha

 

Donbrew, i honestly dont know the what "captured but" means.. sorry, i know how to do regular stuff to cars and know them alot by slang, not proper names :-)

 

It sits in a pocket that theoretically holds it, captured.
