HELP! removing passenger side front strut!!!!

[SHO SPD]

Ok, I have everything I need loosened done, except 1 bolt I cannot get.. this is on a 93 ATX... theres a little gaurd typ thing just under the spring bolted onto the strut, well looking at that from the side you see 2 bolts, one on the right has a bolt, and a nut (nut is facing you) well the left side I can see the nut, and the bolt running through the nut, but theres a arm running up from the control arm, and is attatched to the back side of this little gaurd, so I cannot get to the bolt here, so when I try to loosen this nut, the whole bolt spins, and there is now where to grab the bolt to stop that from spinning... it sseems as though its in this rubber protector thing.... how do I get this nut off??????????????

Are you possibly trying to describe the sway bay link bolt? There is a hex head on the outboard end of the bolt that you can grip with the appropriately sized wrench to hold it in place while you turn the nut. There is not any access to the "head" of this bolt.

so basically I hold the end of the bolt (by the nut) and then just try loosening the nut? I will try that, after I soak it in bolt buster from the damn rust...

Oh yeah, rust. I don't usually consider the extra effort required to work on the poor cars in the rust belt. Sorry.
