Hey Guys, I was trying to replace the Motor mounts on my car, and when i tried to remove the nuts that hold the brackets from the front sway bar to the engine support mount (i dont know the exact name), 3 of the bolts gave up or broke off front the engine support and now the bolts are moving around and the nuts cannot be remove.

What should I do? Should I cut the bolts and buy new ones? if so What kind of nuts and bolts? or Should I buy 2 new engine support mounts?

Thanks

Hey, i had to buy used engine support brackets and cut the bolts off, so that i can install the ones i bought, that was the best way i found to fix the issue..

hopefully that help you!!! if you have any other question just ask me

I need to get at the lower oil pan on my 2.8Q and the only way at the bolts is to remove the sway bar... I went to try, and one of the bolts just kept spinning... I wasnt sure if I could even get a wrench in there to take them off.

I am guessing this is what I will have to do to get at those bolts.
