Once they spin your only recoarse is to have them tacked in place.... at least that's what I've learned....

Yeah, that front fender is a problem area for nutserts cause of that second wall. Easiest way to fix it would be to tack weld them in place like ugot said.

If you have acess to an air rachet, you could try that and use a thin screwdriver to keep the nutsert from spinning. I hsd to do that on a few of mine , but did it when it first started to spin. Not sure if your hole is too loose now or not.
