Teraflex rear spring retainer nightmare
Took advantage of the RK sale from Northridge and swapped my ProComp 2.5" for a Max Travel 2.5" kit. The kit came missing the rear wedges and spring retainers! My ignorance for not checking if all parts were present before install. So today, two weeks after the original install, I drop the axle to install the wedges and spring retainer. All is well until I snap the bolt for the retainer, over tightening it.
Anyone ever done this and any suggestions how to get it out? With the nut and bolt together, there isn't enough room to pull it out. For now, I've given up and will forever have the bolt/nut floating around unless someone has a bright idea.
Thanks in advance.

[QUOTE="OH9JK;3820984"]Was it a regular nut or a locking type nut?[/QUOTE
Locking...went to the hardware store for a replacement and was able to finish but it's still floating around.
