2wd coil spring problem

im trying to remove the cup which holds the spring in place at the bottom.

what size bolt and nut is it?
its the one that connects the radius arm to the I beam. 28 mm too big, 1-1/16 too small....27 will probably be too small, but i didnt have that socket-would have to buy it...

also that bitch is ON THERE, loctite?

Mine are 1 1/8" as well. I have gone through so many different coil spring variations and it fits perfect on mine

strange..maybe someone changed the bolts on mine at some point. either way, 1-1/8 is simply too big for it. I will try a 27 mm, which is a hairline larger than 1-1/16, ill grind the nut down a hair if i have too, once i get it off replace with new hardware. thanks folks
