Default track bar help

Im installing a Pro comp adjustable track bar and ran into a problem. Where the bar connects on the passenger side there's a tab with a bolt welded to it. The bolt fits into a slot and the tab sticks out the bottom so you can hold it in place and get the bolt lined up. The new track bar comes with a larger nut and bolt and theres no way to get a wrench in there...anyone else run into this? I used the stock bolt for now but its smaller and im affraid it will allow the bar to shift around.

Use the one that came from the lift company you can get a open/box wrench in there. you can even tape the nut (from the back) onto the open end and go that way
