Inner cam bolt spinning help please



What do you do if these inner cam bolts are spinning? One is spinning, therefore I can't get out the camber arm. Help. The bolt in red. It is spinning. No way to get behind it at all.

Are you talking about the nuts on the swaybar bracket you have circled in red? Those should come right off as the bolts are welded to the frame. If you're talking about the bolt in blue, you need to take off the swaybar to get it out.

You will need to buy an eccentric lockout kit.

Yes I'm talking about the sway bar bracket bolt. It's not welded in anymore.

if your sway bar bolt is just spinning then you prob just stripped the bolt/nut

It's not stripped. So what it is, is the other side is suppose to be welded to the frame. The previous owner installed the sway bar. Most likely he over torqued it. I'm just seeing if anyone has any ideas. I have a few people who say cut a line in it with a dremel. Them hold it with a screw driver and get it out. But my issue will be to get it back in.

It broke sockets trying to get them off, bought a new 17mm socket and it stripped the bolt. Any ideas on how to get it off. Both of them are essentially stuck on.

Now I'm really confused, are the other side bolts stripped or the nuts? You've mentioned both. If it's the nuts use these: http://www.sears.com/hanson-5-piece-...1&blockType=G1

It's both. On the passenger side it was spinning. I had to hack it off. Noting I could do worked. Then on the drivers side both nuts are rounded. I'll buy that lockout kit. Someone ran into this on 350z forums. Though they never posted if it worked.

I think I need a deep socket. I can't seem to find anyone who sells deep socket ones.

Did you open my link? Sears carries them but they're not cheap.
