    Default Front swaybar-mount nut keeps on spinning, can't remove.

    I want to re-lube my front urethane swaybar bushes, one nut won't come off. It spins freely in both ways (meaning turning to tighten or turning to loosen). The thread is not moving and I can't take the swaybar mount support off. Any ideas guys. I tried to put a screwdriver in there to try and put some pressure on the mount when removing the nut but nothing happens, it just keeps spinning. The thread looks okay. I think I tightened it too much when I installed the larger bar quite a few months ago.

    edit : I tried to wedge a screwdriver in there and undo the nut, theres no room to get a screwdriver in there. maybe the thread on the bolt is stripped and I can get an air rachet can get the nut off, then maybe use a tap and die set to bolt the nut back on, what do you guys think?
