This was one of the first mods I did a long time ago and I was new at it so I'm not sure exactly what I did to cause it but the a bolt that I use for my CAI is not tightening and it seems to be the engine bay that I stripped because it never tightens and I can push the bolt in without screwing.

Bolt in question:

It's the black one holding the CAI to the engine bay.

So... Is there a way I can replace the bolt with another because it seems like a lot of work to put a nut on the other side because of what's blocking the path. It's very squeaking amd annoying in the cab haha.

You might be able to retap the hole to get the treads fixed, or drill/tap the next size up and get a new bolt.
