i was taking off my old front sway bar to replace it with a new one.
i was taking off the d-brackets and the bolt for it would spin, but not come out. i think the weld on the nut behind it broke or something. but now i cant install my new sway bar because of that stuck bolt.
now my question is, is there any way that i can get to the nut on the other side of the bolt? would i have to drill a hole in the wheel well to get at it? i have no idea and i need to get this done. thanks

not sure if its a hex or square nut but i had a similar issue. i drilled a hole in-line with the bolt an nut on the opposite side of the horn so i could get a extension with a socket in there. use whatever you need to keep it from spinning.
