I stripped one of the nuts on my strut bar. If anyone has a part number or diagram for the entire assembly, that would be great! I need to know what is the part number for the 12mm bolt holding the strut bar to the strut assembly (springs and strut) and possibly the part number for the intermediate plate between the strut bar and the strut assembly. I might have to drill the nut out and if I do, I will need to replace that plate as well.

If someone has a suggestion on how to remove a rounded nut, please let me know. I've tried every from using the Gator Grip (which is crap) to a bolt set that is designed to remove rounded nuts (worked better than the Gator Grip, but still no use).

Thanks in advance.

Grind two sides flat, hit it with easy out, then use a wrench.

Thanks for the diagram expo1. I decided to just drill it out. I ordered a replacement plate and nut from the dealership. I think I will need to switch to 6 pt sockets to avoid mishaps like thiese in the future. Thanks again for the info and tips.
