Loose K-memeber bolts
 
While I was installing an off road H-pipe, I discovered the rear mounting points of the k-member against the frame were loose. The bolts were almost falling !
I managed to tightened 3 out of 4 bolts with a torque wrench. It looks like the bolt thats giving me problems wont grip agains the nut. oh boy, i have no idea how to get a hold of that nut. i dont know if i need to take the fender out or the engine out to be able to reach that baby.

any suggestions? do i need to get the whole thing aligned?

how did you get the bolt tightened finally? jack up the engine to loose the weight>?? I had the same problem, but I think the thread on the otherside is damaged?

That's a pretty good question, but I'm not sure Slider is still around since he posted that 7 years ago. ;)

someone suggest me to jack up the engine by the crank pulley to loose the tension of the k-member, but i still not be able to tighten the bolt, and i can not reach the other side of the bolt
