Default lower motor mount bolt just spins ><

I was trying to take my lower motor mount out to put in the energy suspension inserts and one of the bolts popped loud and now it just spins in place, im guessing there is a nut welded inside the frame that came un-welded or something.

I reallly dont want to cut into the frame to get this beaatch out, you guys think I could just bolt the other side up and let the other side be, instead undo the 19mm bolt in the middle to get the inserts in? the bolt is not loose, its flush with the frame, but it just spins so I dunno if its tight enough, I dont want any probs.

Cut the side of the frame next till the bolt and use a 19mm box wrench and then your good. That pop you heard broke the wield that holds that nut.

Well the weld seems to have broke, but the bolt is still in the same position. I'm not even able to a screwdriver under it so I just made the other side real tight. Think it will be a prob like that?
