I think you might get a little better response if you tell us what your goal is. Are you fixing the wreck, parting it out or just stock piling parts?
I would toss out a spindle with caliper mounts that have been helicoiled - it's junk.

I'm sorry if that sounded mean. You've ignored advice from some of the guys on here that know their stuff. I just cant figure out where you're going with this thread. You've asked questions about removing struts, removing brakes, etc. Autozone doesn't rent tools. They loan them. This car is way creamed, and you're using cardboard to "level" it. The whole body is WAY tweaked and you are apparently trying to fix it. If you're crazy enough to remove the rear suspension, the holes will probably never line up again.
What IS your plan with this thing?

What makes you think I stripped the bolt? I mean I didn't even know how to get the brakes off so how would I know how to get them on, stripping the bolt in the process? Maybe I did it while trying to get if off? But there's a helicoil there which tells me whoever installed the brakes had a problem. But! The trailing arm is aluminum! So.... I don't know how that bolt was stripped. This why I don't let anyone work on my car. Because you end up finding weird stuff like this. This is why I won't just buy another951. Because atleast this way I can fix crap like this.
