rounded nut and warped stud on coilover HELP ASAP!
I've been working on this for three days someone please help me
I've been trying to swap out my coilovers.
One of the nuts on the rear driver's side rounded off. I got it moving but now the stud is warped and the nut is just sitting there.
Is there any way to cut the stud off completely?
I can't fit an angle grinder, vice grip or anything else.
I've tried chiseling and that hasn't worked. Any advice?
For reference this is what I'm talking about

One of the 14mm nuts is stuck on there which is what I'm having problems with.
My last coilover is just stuck in there until I get that nut off
Sorry, my only suggestion would be to not round off that nut. Maybe sears or an auto store might have something to assist in taking rounded nuts off?
Your only other option would be to try and remove the shock shaft bolt which will be way harder than the 14mm top hat nut then grind off the head of the stud from below.
Those top hats are like 14 bucks or so without bushings so its not like you'd be destroying something expensive.
It'll look kinda like this, the bottom of the stud that is.

What does it look like from under the car where it goes into the shock mount? My suggestion might be to get a dremel and try to cut off the stuf from the bottom
Is the nut spinning or the shaft of the bolt? If the nut is stripped you can buy a rounded nut remover from a auto parts store or sears
Should be very easy
