Snapped front body bolts

[Green Machine]

Hey all. So was doing a body lift and both bolts that hold the body to the chassis at the front have snapped off with no studs sticking out.

I need some options on how I can fix this. Its a bitch to get at.

I thought about drilling a 1inch bottem then drilling out the bolt completely and putting a nut on through the hole.

Has anyone else dealt with this situation? Whats my best option?

Cheers

drill them out would be the only option really unless you can soak them in wd-40 , crc penetrate or something like that and try to use a easy out on them but if they snapped chances are their bloody tight , other option is if you get a oxy torch in there and try heat up the bolt it might loosen it enough to get it out , Good luck

Grind them off flush then drill a new hole right through and put a longer bolt with nut underneath.

Can you weld to them?
Weld another bolt or a nut to them and while hot gently wind them in and out a bit to loosen, soak in WD40 or similar and gently wind tem out.

From memory those captive nuts on the front body mounts are just spot welded on .Id try to break the spot welds with a sharp cold chisel from the side and a long punch from the top . Them just replace the captive nut with a nylock nut and flat washer.

Cheers for the replies guys, I just drilled the bolt out then cut a small hole in the chassis so I can get a nut up and on end of the bolt.
