My soon to be former garage was working on my car and replacing a fan belt (i think). I guess it requires this mount to be taken off. To the best of my understanding, there is a bolt that comes from the frame and this mount attaches with a nut. (or vise versa) In the process of take the nut off, the bolt itself came loose. (now when you turn the nut the entire bolt turns) Apparently they had no way of securing the other end of the bolt.

Now the whole thing is loose and rattles away.

Any advice? I built furniture for a live so I am pretty adept with tool and this seems that it should be an easy fix. I'd like to try it myself before finding a new garage and having them insist on a bunch of work or something like that.

Thanks

this pic should give u some ideas.

 

bolt 15 goes up into the frame rail. The nut is inside the rail.

I imagine you cut a hole in the rail and install a new nut, then patch the hole.

 

Thanks!
