Ok, So I took my rear end out a while ago, and when I went to replace the endlinks I stupidly took the mounting plate out, now the problem is, I can only tighten up the one nut, and on the other side its a bolt which I cant tighten because the nut is inside the frame rail? Can I access this from inside the car, or what the heck do I do?

So you are saying the captured nut inside the frame rail is turning? That sucks. About your only option is to drill through the nut and frame rail and use a long through bolt, or screw a stud as far as you can into the captured nut and then weld both to the frame rail.

There is no access from inside, I haven't looked to see if there is a body plug in the frame rail that might give you access.
