I just installed the Trail Tailor diff drop on my 04 land cruiser. While putting it back together and screwing on the front diff mount bolt (which was removed from the rear diff mount), it started going in smooth then got really tight, and now it keeps spinning without tightening. I can’t take it out either because it’ll keep spinning. It still has a little bit more to go but no matter what I do, the bolt just keeps spinning without moving inwards or outwards....any suggestions?

In the picture I’m pointing at the front mount for the front differential. The bolt there is not fully tightened and just keeps spinning in both directions

Can you wedge anything in there to force bolt head to be tight while you back it out, I am thinking something like a pickle fork, etc.
