the usdm brace will not fit, so i bought the JDM one... but i cant the USDM one off!! the bolt in the pic just spins and spins.... any help? the second pic is a zoomed out view of the area... thanks...

 

Holy crap those are huge!

now what are you talking about?

 

quick bursts with an impact to take it out...

replace the bolt, chase the threads in the hole with a tap.

 

impact? u mean have someone hit it from the top??

No, impact gun

not a .45 colt but a mechanic's tool, like a air ratchet.

 

Bbasso yea man... sorry dude.. i dont have a photo editing program... i am talkign aobut he bolt in the center of the first pic...

 

look inside the eng. compartment you should see a square nut on the other end of that bolt. now if its spinning along with the bolt then all you need to do is hold that nut with a wrench or vise grip.

 

the nut is welded it doesnt move at all...

 

ohh.. the thread on the bolt is striped. then try and put something to pry the bolt or bracket out while you unscrew the bolt. you might get lucky and it catches and it will come out. if not then you will need to cit the head of the bolt then drill out the old bolt. or cut the wel of the nut and just use a new bolt and nut.

 

I say make it easy on yourself and just drill the bolt.

 

i dont see how the thread can be stripped.. it has never been removed before...

 

maybe it was cross threaded when they assemble the car. from the assembly line.
