Default Bull Bar

Hey all,

I just purchased a bull bar for my 06 QC, and I'm having trouble loosening the bolts on the bottom of the frame rail to mount the brack et for the bar. I got one to spin(barely, I might add) and it's not loosening. It's almost as though as there is a nut that is spinning with it. I took a look at the top of the rail and couldn't see anything(just what looks like a insulator for the rad support). Anybody else have any problems, or have some experience with this?

TIA.

So, put the grips on the round insulator on top of the rail?
That would make sense. I couldn't see if it was moving when I was under the truck trying to unscrew the bolt.
