[Healeys] 65BJ8 -- Driver's Side Rear Shock, Furthest Rear Mounting Nut and Bolt

[warthodson at aol.com]

Greg,
If you are saying that you have a socket on both the bolt head & the nut and
they spin freely but don't tighten or loosen, then obviously the threads are
stripped.
As you undoubtedly know by now there is not a lot of room to work in that
area. A Sawsall might be hard to control without damaging the shock body.
You might have better luck with a mini hack saw.

When I put the sockets on it, it moved just enough to allow the nut and bolt
to
pin freely, but not loosen any more. I can't tighten it, either.
