back the bolt out , weld the key back on the nut

 

tryed to heat it up and no luck. Guess its gonna have to be cut off.

 

man thats messed up . you must have real bad luck.

 

Had a welder come look at it. Hes either gonna try to tac-weld the nut on the back side back to that plate that holds it or cut it off. Have new parts on order from dealership and they will be there 1st thing in the morning. So its all put back together right now. Let yall know how it goes tommorrow. And yes I have the worst luck ever!! Cant wait to try to change my spark plugs!!

 

Well its done!! Took a real torch with a rosebud. that lil hand held propane deal wouldnt get it hot enough. The bolt was done for, threads were all jacked up from the hammering of the impact on it. Put all new hardware in and it still rides like a tank. LOL guess thats the price ya pay for big'o'wheels! Biggist improvment was the steering stabalizer.The steering wheel dosnt jam left or right when i hit them big bumps. But over all ride is the same. Thanks to all for the help. And shortburb i will take pics and post tommorrow, sorry just so flustered forgot in the mix.

 

glad it all worked out for ya buddy

 

The worst of it all was after all this B.S. with that bolt my wifes starter went out on her Ford Focus and that was the biggist pain in the *** ever to change!

 

thats a furd for ya
