you can listen to all of the try this guys... or you can do what I did... LOL
Those bolts are splined and go into a bracket... I put bolt into a hole I drilled into a 2x4, put some washers on each end and a nut to keep it together. Used a Saab bolt, think it may have been something from the rear suspension, maybe a lower shock bolt?
Then put this on a floor jack, and positioned the threaded end of the bolt up and placed it on the remaining bolt that protrudes, and jacked the car up. FIRST put ALOT of rags or something in the engine compartment above the round end of the bolt you see coming through. THEN jack it up, if you can keep the end of the bolt centered put a bolt on it that will still push the other up. you may have to work at this a couple of times to keep the ends together, adding or removing end pieces as needed. It will pop out with a "twang".
If you are successful in doing this email me and I'll mail the replacement for this to you. I purchased the entire "L" shaped bracket and spent some time trying to figure it out... It's actually just pressed down...
So I pushed the three bolts out of the L bracket, and pushed the replacement down in, used a couple of 1/2 socket extentions as a LONG drift, and hit with a 2.5 lb sledge and it poped back, running the new nut I got with it took it home.
