    the first pictiure is a welded on nut, you cant unloosen it or anything. It's welded onto the stock strut so the bolt can get screwed into it..

    Oh. I see the predicament now.

    Unless you have access to an easy out and have some mad drilling skills...I'm not sure what to tell you, besides heating the hell out of that welded-on nut, breaking it off, and replacing the whole thing with a standard bolt/nut.

    Most every remedy to something like this comes back to extreme heat and hammers of varous sizes.

    well that sucks...go buy new aftermarket struts then since you'll need them anyway for that lowered suspension
