Was the original write up about the driver's or passenger's side?
The driver's side is way too far to do that. I never did replace the rear driver's side.
I had no idea how I could rethread the bolt, if it broke. The access cavity is really far away.

It was both sides that broke. The fix is the same for both sides. However, as some have posted its better to route the bolt through with some fishing line than tape a nut to a wrench. Both work and my Jeep still has original fix and working just fine.
