Okay, Your verbal description is not too clear.

Here is my idea.

Get an EXTRA long bolt that goes completely through the frame and place a nut on the protruding side. U might have to drill an exit hole for the bolt.

Are you talking about where the suspension arm bolts to the frame? The opposite end of the suspension arm is the rear tie rod. From looking at the images in the BGB (page RA-40), there appears to be a round opening that you could access the "backside" where presumably a nut had been welded. You would probably need a wobbly socket (or universal and a socket) and an extension, or perhaps a long slender pair of needle nosed pliers to get the nut started.

Please provide a more detailed description of the piece that you are working on, or what you were doing that required its removal.
