are you talking about the torque mount? if so there should be one large bolt and two holding it onto the frame. can you take a picture of it ?

if the nuts break off inside the frame they will spin. you can cut a small hole in the frame rail and tack the nuts back to the frame and then weld up the hole (hope you have a welder)

I had that happen to me.
Cut off the offending bolt with a Sawzall.
Use a 1" hole saw (or whatever size is close) and drill a hole in the frame rail where nut is supposed to be.
Remove the busted off nut and bolt-end.
Replace with a nut and bolt.
Don't worry about plugging the hole, but you could put a plastic plug in it.
