That stud will come out with a stud remover or tighten a second nut up against the excisting nut to act as a lock nut and then put a spanner on the nut that is closest to the unibody and loosen it...the stud should come out then....If that makes sence

there are 2 threaded studs that you need to TURN OUT dont rip them out there is a welded nut in side the frame it is very possible to get them out if u have a welder or a tapered nut tack the nut to stud and back out or runLEFT HAND THREAD tapered nut on to stud u can get a tapered nut at a pluming store

Hey man you will never guess what i used to push it into the hole. A 20 year old scissor jack one edn i put behind lower control arm mount and other end in the edge of cross member, then just made it raise up and it pushed it into place, who knew a old jack that was used on my dads harley 20 years ago would help me now Haha . Thanks
