Track bar bolt spinning
So I managed to get all the other bolts with ease but this bolt keeps spinning. It is almost impossible to get some vice grips in there. Anyone have any tips to get this one out? It the bottoms bolts to the track bar bracket by the way.

Dremel cutting wheel? They start at 1-1/2 inches then get smaller cutting. With enough time and wheels, you could cut a whole Jeep in half with one of those!
Any start cutting that "nut" might let you give a chisel a shot.
I have small needle nosed vice grips that are handy sometimes...........

Take that and a 6-pack of Bud to a shop with a torch, (or bring it by here). Just out of mercy a muffler shop or someone might have 30 seconds to spare.....

Update for anyone with problem in the future....I cut down the middle but to the side of the bolt, then once it was deep and I could see the threads I pried a hammer on the boss and the motor mount bolt and just slowly unscrewed it.
