Re: messed up screws or what?
omg..i see the problem someone drew all over the pic lol.. j/k.. ok this is what you do... this would be easier if you have lower/coilover springs.. but if not you'll have a hell of a time puting it back to gether... that bolt is not securly weld on the top of the struts.. so what you ahve to do is.... take's a little bit of skillz to pull this off.. unbolt the nut which hold the the shock ontop the cap.. ( which is the nut in the middle of the 3 on the strut tower. (the one which is directly on the shock ) ) then proceed to taking your strut out... but remember that springg is gonna wanna shoot out, so process with caution... then after you get the strut out...find something like a vise grip or a channel lock to hold the bottom of the screw while someone ratchet the nut off on the top..... or just tack weld the sucker on and call it a day. i'll elaborate more with pictures later.

damn that sucks man. i'd probably have it tacked onto the pillow mount so it wont move, then u can undo the nut. probably do that to all of them too to prevent this in the future, even if u get replacement pillow mounts.
