Hi JB,
I don't quite understand.... the nut is welded to the body mount, so it really shouldn't be 'off'. If the bolt is loose from the nut, the bolt should drop down, I'd think.
Regards,
Alan

The number four body mount ( behind the rear tires) has a bolt that is installed upwards into a caged nut /housing assembly that is riveted to you body on the inside. IF you got the nut off from the inside, the bolt should fall down like ALAN mentioned. "DUB"

As mentioned above the caged/welded nut is on top. If you got it out (from inside the car) then the original configuration has been replaced by an aftermarket assembly as seen in the pic. Again as noted above the bolt should just drop out the bottom, perhaps with some persuasion owing to corrosion.

I had to persuade mine out with a saw. The first turn of the bolt ripped the cage out, and the shaft of the bolt was completely rust welded to the sleeve. Even after I cut it out, I couldn't pound the bolt out of the sleeve with a hammer.
