Default I need help regarding, center bearing on propshaft

Okay long story short, I've got a problem with the center bearing on my prop shaft, been hearing it for a while, and now I know what it is..
One of the bolts is tight, where as the other one is extremely loose and hasn't fallen out because I'm assuming there's a nut on the other side (inside the car?) hasn't detached itself. Which mean's I can't actually undo the nut, to put a new one in.

Any help would be great! Thanks

It'll be a captive nut probably, not sure if it's inside the car.

I'm not 100% sure, but where the bolt goes is through the bottom of the car,
not tried getting the nut from inside the car as I don't think you can, I'll give it ago tomorrow, but... I wont hold my breath

Not had a chance to look yet, busy in work, and helping a friend move house,
I'll try and get underneath her this weak and see if I can think of a solution.
I'll put some pics up of the problem too

Problem solved.
Had to take it to a garage, they cut off the bolt, and had to weld a new nut on the inside of the car. Cost me £96 in labor... But at least its done now..
