Lift Install problem

[wild horse]

Well I'm in the process of trying to install the front lift on my B2 , But the front passenger side coil spring retaining nut is not coming off and the whole stud is spinning and won't come out? Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? As you can see in one picture that the drivers side came out fine but in the others thats as far as it will come and it just spins and spins and spins without coming out , And I can't go any further until it comes out and I'm at a loss for what to do?

There's a nut welded up inside the beam. You'll have to get in there with a wrench and hold on to it or weld it back on. Or cut the stud and buy a new one from me (I have a couple of them laying around) or broncograveyard.com sells them.

Thanks for the imfo- So I would half to pull all the brakes and whatnot to get into it is what your saying?

Can you hold the bolt head at the top of the traction beam?Take the spring centering bottom washer on your good side there is a bolt head there can you hold it to turn the nut?Then you could get it apart maybe get lucky enough to get it to tighten up again.
