Front Bumper Shock bolt keeps turning...

Post by Fiat88 »

Today I began removing my front bumper shocks, I got the drivers side off without a problem but the passanger side bolt which holds the bumper shock in just keeps turning. I've got an idea of why: the bolt is probably bent as the frame rail shows indication of crash damage and the bracket which holds the shock is bent and missing a bolt. Any ideas of freeing the bolt or am I basicly screwed? :(

Well you can try to wedge a screwdriver between the bracket and frame rail to create some tension on the bolt while you try and remove it.
