Hi everyone,trying to replace the lower rear control on my grandsons xf and have come across an issue with the rear mounting bolt and hope someone can advise.
I unbolted everything succesfully but when I got to the rear inner mounting bolt I realised that theres no access to the nut,so I began undoing the bolt which was very tight but did come out about 5mm then theres was an bit of a screech and the bolt went loose.Now Im assuming this is a captive nut thats welded inside the subframe ,my question is ,if I sut through the bolt where it goes into the subframe is it possible to remove the nut and replace it without having to weld a new one in or cutting the subframe?
I can get my finger inside from the top but can only feel a boxed of section which I assume holds the nut,thanks in advamce for any advice.
