rear swaybar bushing bracket, studs spinning

[WaterBrat]

2005 EB V8....Diagnosing some clunking and found Left rear swaybar bushing slid from bracket. I went to loosen bracket, with a shot of PB Blaster and using a 15mm ratcheting wrench on the nuts and now the studs just spin. I spent about a half hour and the stud is not coming out of the frame..What did I break and hot do I fix? Thanks for any suggestions.

Did you ever find a solution? I am having the same issue.

They are not studs in the frame. They are studs attached to a horizontal clip that slides sideways into a square hole on the top of the frame. Look closely and you can see thin edge of clip below stud. 2 solutions - Dorman bushings include new clips, or go to salvage yard and take some off. I went to salvage yard. Don’t remember if you slide clips inward or outward to remove. Experiment in salvage yard.
