I bought a front strut tower brace to replace the stock one on my RA. When taking the 6 bolts off, 5 of them came off with no issues but one of the nuts just spins along with the treading of the bolt. Anyone have any suggestions on what i should do to get this nut removed?

if you can fit it - take two more nuts and thread them on and tighten them together to 'hold' the bolt. Use one wrench on the 'holder' nuts' and another wrench to try to loosen the nut.

The strut mount will need be repaired or replaced.

GL!

 

Yeah there wasnt enough thread to be able to get another two nuts on it. I finally managed to get it off today but your right the strut mount will need to be replaced. Quick question though, if i upgrade to some after market coil overs will i still need to source a new strut mount from mitsu?

 

yes, unless they come with camber plates. i got my OEM pieces from STM, i believe. i bought both. they were pretty reasonably priced.
