Before I go out and resort to using bolt cutters or some other extreme method, I was wondering if you guys had any input on this...

I still have the '96 parts car and it had suspension techniques sway bars. The other day I was removing more parts from the car, I removed the entire power steering setup, front anti-sway bar, etc when I got to the rear anti-sway bar (which oliver and I had already unbolted the passenger side of to get to the diff) I found that the dumb**** who had the car before me had lost the nut to the bolt and must have used the wrong sized nut - wither that or he had stripped it. When you try to remove the nut from the bold it just wrotates on the bolt and doesn't move at all.

Anyone have a good idea how to solve this problem ?
