Hello,
Finally managed to make progress on my 03 rear struts. New issue is the bottom mounting bolt is stuck. The tab snapped off while trying to remove the bolt and I am most likely going to resort to angle grinding through the mounting bolt to get it out.
Does anyone know the part numbers for the bolt and the tabbed nut? From my research I think the bolt is part# W710775-S439, but I cannot find anything for the tabbed nut.
Worst case I am prepared to use some red loctite and go with a regular nut, but I would rather not replace with the proper parts if possible.
Thank you all!
