If I remember correctly officerdbag (dunno if he still posts here) had the same problem, you can try to contact him to see what he did. Good luck finding a solution man.

 

I would call your local mechanic or even better the dealership, and hope they have a good solution for this. I'm sure this has happened to someone in the past, talk to someone that has dealt with this before, before doing anything. The torque spec for that bolt is very low 26 to 30 lbs.

 

go to a shop and have them fix it... im not a diy person...

 

Unfortunately he's been permanently banned. Long live SBF!!!!!!!!

 

fwwaackk chris! this sucks.

the best way to fix this would be drill the bolt out and replace it, but i dont know how hard it would be to replace since the bolts are in the frame.

take it to a shop and see what they say

 

I'm gonna Try taking off the bolt, I have all the tools I need anyways

 

drill it out and take whatever out to get to the top and put/tack weld a new bolt in place. its just a 12mm nut, doesnt need alot to tighten it.

There is at least one more thread about this issue on my350z, I just can't find it atm. Good luck dude, I almost had a similar problem to you with that bolt and I was going to go crazy.

 

i told you to wait and come over to my house and i would do it for you

 

Like some said, just drill it and try using a torque wrench next time. I also recommend doing it yourself, I snapped a bolt when I put my engine cover back on and a local shop quoted me $100 to drill the screw and take it out.

 

damn! that really sucks! happy that didn't happen to me.

 

best of luck to the OP on this... I would be taking it to the shop... but thats cause I don't have the tools to do fix something like that.

 

any update on how you solve this issue? i have same problem

 

I was waiting to see how he fixed it myself.. i don't have that problem , but i just wanted to know

 

I did the same thing today changing my rear struts...damn it! I was hoping this bolt wouldn't be hard to get to or that it wouldn't be welded, but I guess this is my luck.
I haven't taken it for a spin yet and I probably won't till I can get this fixed somehow.
How did the OP ever get it out and replaced the bolt?
