ok there is no free beer sorry, but it made you look.

anyway i am replacing my na sway bar with a turbo one as part of my turbo swap but today i think i broke one of the mounting bolts that hold the plate that the sway bar mounts to the car. now this is no big deal but i broke the spot weld that holds the nut to the car not the bolt. my question is how in the hell do i get at the nut? i cant find any hole to get at the nut through. help me please.

also the turbo parts car i have has abs but my 88 dont, can i remove the sensor from the hub and hot plug it? or what should i do with that.

thank you again please help me i need it( after the swap i will need mental help too i think)

you will need to drill a hole in the top of the subframe to get at it. I dont do ABS at all so no help here.

so thier is no pre exesting hole?

Are you 100% sure that its the nut thats spinning? I put poly bushings on my sway bar and when I went to take that bolt out it just spun and spun, but it wasn't because the nut had come loose it was because the threads had all rusted off the bolt in the middle. The top still had threads and so did the bottom but the middle didn't. It came out a little and then started turning so I pulled down on the bracket as I tried unscrewing it. It eventually came out when the end threads bit in. And then I put 4 new stainless bolts in their place.

And NO, if you can't see a pre existing hole then there isn't one probably. But the only way to make sure the nut isn't turning is to do like Tinvestor said and drill a hole.

highwayinthesky

would i need to fill the hole back in after i was done?

tinvestor

no you do not need to

ok i guess that solves one problem, anything on the abs front? i was thinking i would remove the sensor, mounting plate and wires and forget about trying to plug the hole left behind cause i am painting all parts that are going back unto my car
