Need help ASAP!!!. Broke a Motor Mount Bolt
ok, I decided to install Energy suspension motor mounts in my 96 GSR. I started taking the driver's side off and I got the back bolt off fine.
When I went to do the front bolt, I got it out 3/8ths of an inch then it got hard to turn. I gave it about a 1/2 turn and there was a pop as if I broke the head off the bolt. When I looked, I saw this:
The head was still there, but the whole thing truned and moved freely. Upon looking further, I realized that I broke the nut that is welded INSIDE the frame rail loose. And, to top it off, there is no way to get into the frame rail other than those two holes shown.
Does anyone know how I can get this bolt out and a new one in? I need to get this done before monday when i have to work again.
Thanks

I hate rust on cars it makes it so hard to work on them you have to be extra carefull on every bolt you turn.
And about your problem about the bolt I broke the nut inside the rail like you did on my friends car and he didnt really case so we just put one and let it roll like that sorry I cant give you no advise.
