are you talking about the "oh ****" handle? If the nut wont thread down tight on the bolt one of em has probably striped or damaged threads. If its the nut just replace it, or else gob it up with some thread lock that may work but it wont be as strong.

Thanks for the replys but the part that is broken is the studs that are pressed into the bracket. One came out and the other one is loose.
