Another Frustrating Stupid Question! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

On my six cyl., I was trying to tighten the bolt on the power steering bracket while keeping the belts tight, but the darn bolt wouldn't tighten! I slid the bracket out of the way to make sure I had it in the hole, I did, and then tried manually tighten it but the bolt just keeps spinning, never tightens! Found another bolt from the bolt drawer, it was a little shorter but I put 2 washers and a lock washer and it did the same thing! Did I strip the bolt(s) or the thing they go into? This is the second bolt that did this to me today, but I got another bolt and it worked, What gives?
