I just snapped the body bolt that is in front of the driver's side rear wheel taking my running boards off. Much to my dismay it looks like this bolt wont come straight out and hits the body. Has any one dealt with this? Looks like I either have to unbolt the body and lift it up some or cut the old bolt out and put the new one in upside down. Anyone else have any experience with this?

Thanks

Yeah, l've often looked at those bolts and wondered how in the hell a person would replace them...without cutting them...or lifting the body. Someone snapped a couple on my wife's 03, probably removing step, but l've not done anythng about it.

If l were ever to get bored enough to fix this...l'd cut them and reverse bolt direction.
