Unfortunately, this happens more than anyone of us would like. Happened to a friend of mine this summer also.

The bolt, on the other side of that acorn nut that Tom circled is a hex head. Bad design. A buttonhead torx or allen bolt might solve the problem.

You may also want to consider replacing the OEM dampener on the front with a Works Performance shock.
