So the tab has come loose from the nut on the axle side of my trac bar. anyone have any idea what size the nut is or have any suggestions on how to get the bolt out?

iirc it was a 15mm her on the inside. Hard to get a wrench in there properly, but it can be done.

If you do not have a wrench that will fit in there, use a large flat-blade screwdriver.
Fit the flat-blade in between the flat side of nut and the bracket, turn bolt slowly and try to get it 'wedged' in there. Unless bolt is rusted it should work.

im gonna give it another go today after work.. has anyone tried using a ratchet with a u joint?

Still will not fit.

get some crows feet and get the tool on the nut and turn it until it's wedged against the axle, then go to town.

Got it done yesterday. I was able to slide a open end wrench into the side and get it to catch once the flag part was spun around so it was towards the passenger side tire. Put my new jks track bar on after I went to lowes to get some grade 8 hardware for the axle side. Now the only problem is that when I went to tighten the axle side with the wrench after I got it torqued down the wrench is stuck in the axle mount. Seems to be wedged between the bottom of the nut and the bottom of the mount

Try backing off on the bolt a hair and see if the nut will turn with it and release tool.
