yeah, the nut goes around the bolt. The bolt is part of the spring base.

Its a mixed bag......

On the passenger side, the two front conections are studs mounted to the spring seat, with nuts. The rear two connections are hex head bolts into the spring mount. On the passenger side, the two front connections are studs with nuts, the two rear connections are Torx head bolts.

Yeah i totally forgot. For some reason i was thinking it was torx bolts in the rear and regular bolts in the front, but i remember the studs now. Oh that reminds me, to the original poster, you are using a metric wrench right?

yeah, I was using a metric wrench... Finnally, I did it, I dremeled it out... I basically cut the nut in pieces. and that way I could take it out without damaging the studs.
