bolt keeps spinning, spinning, & spinning

Band Wagon
while trying to change my rear bushing in my Rt wagon both of the bolts that hold the bar through the bushing just keep spinning and spinning. they wont tighten or losen im guessing the bolt on the inside of the body is broken. my rear wheel has a lot of play.
how would I go about getting this replace? do I need to cut into my body and reweld the bolt? ive never cut into a car before and am real nervous and don't want to do it if I don't need a point in the right direction would be much appreciated

If you have an impact and can apply constant pulling pressure, you might be able to get enough bite to hold the loose captured nut.
and low flying yea I could definitely fit something in there ill have to give it a shot . I don't have access to a impact at the moment. I plan on getting one after Christmas
heres a shot of both sides just so you can get a picture of what im working with.
on mine i dont recall any dual wrench action needed on that.. good luck!
So... does anybody else have these?
greentea, yea thats just the underliner i went and double checked its solid
klum the spacers are due to the lift. and it shouldnt have been a dual wrench job but the nuts inside must have broken free of their welds cause all they do is spin. doesnt get tighter or loser... just my luck..
In that case, just need to re-clock the RTA bushing, right?
As as far as getting down and dirty. I'll need to wait till after Christmas to start citing so I can get my zip wheel from my parents. I'll probably cut holes in the can like Hayde has looks sorta safe to me.
and oh that makes more sense i knew you were refering to ur fix but wasnt aware on the other end of those studs were wrenchable nuts but i guess thats why haydz has cutout points i may be wrong i havent been under my wagon in like a year
-The red line shows where the lip is within 5mm of the underbody
-The hole is massive and doesn't need to be - start small
-If you fuck it up, it's not my fault
-It only gets you access to one of the nuts, and it's not even a nut (see below)
-Asking for shots of a guys holes on the internet is asking for trouble
and yes It's 100% me won't be pointing any fingers here lol
look at pages 2-5 or so, there's some good dissected images.
I had the same problem on a 94 civic coupe. I cut a hole on top as you did..
I ended up drilling out both bolts and re threading the bold holes..
Obviously I had to put a bigger bolt in, but it all worked out well!!
