APR Front Strut bar..help

I was taking my apr front strut bar off and one of the three bolts, will not come off it just keeps spining around..What should i do about this? :furious:

Sounds like the part of the bolt that was pressed into the strut mount is stripped. Either that, or the nut is stripped. Did you tighten it really hard when installing the bar?

No when I was taking it off it was really loose.....

Is the bolt itself spinning, or just the nut? If it's the bolt, you're gonna need to take the car to a shop to have it removed. They might need to drill off the head of the bolt to get it out, then press in a new one (which requires removing the strut).

No it is just the nut. How do i get it off? Thanks

Try removing the other 2 nuts, then using something to pry the endplate up near the damaged nut while unscrewing it. You want to use the endplate to push the nut upwards so it can catch the threads above it, or at least work itself loose enough to pop off.
