Hi my name's Jimmy, long time lurker, first time poster.

I've just installed some KTS coilovers on my Kouki and completely effed my lower strut bolt. The nut is stuck on the last few threads of the bolt and won't loosen or tighten. My question for the Nico community is, how do I get it off and where can I get a new one? The Nissan dealer by me only has parts for vehicles 2000 and up.

Also, Kouki owns all others!

Vice grips to remove it and then replace it. Do try to make it work then next time you need to take it off it will be stuck. If you want to call me up ill remove it for cheap. I also got the nut and bolt too. 321-276-6483 my name is Reggie.

If you stripped it you can also try grinding a flat surface on either side and using a wrench that fits or vice grips. That's a little bit easier than cutting the whole thing off.

I had to cut the bolt off of my engine mount not too long ago. It sucked major a**.

What is with all the f***tards posting their phone # on a internet forum, I hope that someone gets ahold of that # and owns his a**.

I think he means the bolt on the knuckle maybe?
