96 Pathfinder rescue

[Ishikawa91]

Hello everyone. Have a 1996 Pathfinder SE thats been in the family since 97. Its seen its share of hauling, cross country and daily driving. I am in the process of fixing her back up. First car I drove, and honestly my favorite to drive.

 

This is probably not the right place to put it, but I do have a couple of questions. One of which I will ask here:

 

I am replacing a lot of the front suspension and ran into a slight problem. I was removing the front (passenger side) lower control arm, to take the axle and ball joint out. In the process of removing the lower control arm I needed to remove the "rear" bracket with two bolts. I began loosening them and the bolt closer to the inside of the car just spins after something became loose. I used my mirror and saw that the bolt is attached to something on the other side of the bracket/frame. It looks like a nut but its completely round and has grooves running up and down all around it. Was this welded on to the frame? Or is this some kind of special nut. Either way it is extremely difficult to reach with any tool. Any ideas? I will attempt to take a picture but its a little hard to reach.

 

On a side note, I did search the forum and found:

all of which were extremely helpful!

 

 

Anyway, if needed I will repost the above into a different thread but look forward to asking all you experts for advice!

You might want to try that question in the garage section, or the 96+ section. I have a 94 or I'd help ya out.

 

Oh, and welcome!
