That's as cheap as you're gonna get. Even rockauto has them at $54. Keep in mind dealer list for these is about $100, so $48 is pretty damn cheap.

Yea i went to Napa in a pinch because I couldn't get the upper shock bolt off. I ordered it and it came in at like 110 bones. Needless to say before the order came in for me to pick up i tried like hell to get that damn bolt off. With the right tools it did, and I saved myself 110 dollars. Napa was good about canceling and giving me a refund.

Yea I sat there with a dremel for a while. I ended up hacking it up pretty bad. The thing was that I couldn't get the dremel wheel in there to cut it where it mattered. My friend helped by getting one of those reverse threaded stripped bolt removers that has the teeth built in that grabs onto the mangled nut. We spun it right off with an impact gun.

I dont thing there would be any way to cut it off horizontal under the bottom of the nut.
