tow hook attachment question?

On my 02 Screw.... The 2 front tow hooks... They look to be bolted on with 2 bolts.... I was wondering before I remove mine.....
Are the holes the bolts go through threaded or is there a nut on the end the bolt attaches to?
I just wanted to know because if I take the hooks off, if I want to reinstall them do they just screw in or do I have to get that nut in there for the bolt to go through?

thanks

tim

undo the front bolt and take it out, then just loosen the back bolt and the whole braket will slide back and drop down through the frame and come out. That is if I remember correctly. If you happen to take both bolts out, it is not to hard to get them back in. I did that the first time I took mine out.

It is a floating nut type of connection. I've had mine off to paint, and they are not hard to get back on.
