How bad did I f this up?
Ok so something has been rattling inside my evap system, so I decided to drop it and look. Well the two nuts that hold it on the axle side just spin in place with the bolt. Except the one on the left side is now half way loose and I cannot even tighten it back up due to it completely spinning. So now what do I do?

My father in law (mechanic/truck driver) calls it that when you take a die and run it over an existing thread on a bolt to clean the threads up (or re-thread), so that's what I've stuck with through the years.
Also used when you are after the ladies or need something to help keep the whiskey down.

Can't you stick a flat blade screw driver through the side to hold the bolt head? I haven't really looked at those bolts, but from what you describe, there must be a way to keep the bolt from spinning.

Ahhh....I understand what your saying now. Is there anyway you can reach up in there to see how the top of that bolt is constructed? Maybe an offset box end wrench or a crows foot on a socket with a wobbly could get up in there, but you'll need to get a gander at what the top end looks like somehow. Either feeling around in there is the ticket or if you are lucky you have a buddy who has one of those inspection camera's with the flexible lense thing.
Before I went as far as cutting it off, I think I'd find someone to weld it first. Cutting it off isnt likely gonna help at all. If you weld it, it won't go anywhere.
