No problem guys!

Try Autozone or Advance Auto Parts, most have them available for rent. If anything else, I know for a fact most have the sockets on the shelf available for sale for around $7 to $10 (IIRC). If anything else, CAREFULLY tighten the bolt using an adjustable wrench. I know it is the ghetto way, but atleast you can put some extra torque on it than what you could by hand.

BTW..I stress CAREFULLY so you A) don't strip out the sandwich plate bolt and B) you dont slam you knuckles into the bottom of the cross member, etc.
