Subframe bolt keeps spinning!

Hello there, I own an 03 Lancer ES.

My front subframe recently cracked where the control arm mounts to in the front, I have the subframe to replace it, however I'm stuck with the front subframe nut. The stud that comes off the frame continues to spin and I'm unable to loosen the nut.

Should I try a nut splitter?

@teindu
Yeah our EvO cars have experienced similar failures. You can try the screw driver method or the last resort is to open up a window

Both approaches noted here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...how-fix-2.html
