    Access to rear subframe bolts

    Gents,

    I swapped my new shocks out on my AR this past weekend and absolutely love the new ride. One issue I came across, is when I took my rear subframe bolts out one will not thread all the way back in. If I drop the subframe I have pretty good clearance to run a tap through, but I had a thought.... Access from the other side would be way easier! It threads most of the way in, but it sticking out about an inch, due to the bolt becoming incredibly hard to turn. Before I take the impact wrench to it I'd like to exhaust all intelligent options.

    I pulled the back seat and couldn't find where this would be accessible. Aside from the fact that I have to go to work today I didn't get too terrible involved with tearing the back seat/trunk apart looking for this. Am I able to access this way without having to bust out a cutting wheel?

    One other thought, which is weird cause the other three bolts went in without a single issue, are these bolts a "one time use"? I've been reading conflicting information. If that's the case I'll throw another 5 bucks at a new bolt. Cheaper than the tap in the first place.
