HELP!!!!! Front Swaybar Nut Weld Broke Inside Frame!

While replacing my front swaybar mounts with Poly mounts, the nut that is welded inside the frame broke. The bolt just rotates without any friction. I can't remove it and my swaybar bracket is just dangling. Please help!

Got it fixed. I had to take a break and do some critical thinking. I simply cut the bolt off with my Sawzall. Went to the auto parts store, bought a new nut, bolt and a locked washer plus, a rod with a magnet on the end. Came home, fished out the nut (and half the bolt) from inside the frame (through a hole the size of a quarter), lined up the nut and locked washer, with my finger, above the hole, and screwed in the bolt from underneath. It was a real PITA, but i got the poly bushings in, ride is great. Glad it's done.

Sasme thing happened to me, I'll try that. So with the locking washer you don't need anything to hold it inside the frame right?

Correct. It's been 4 months since my fix and zero problems.
