I had some of the body bolts break off in the Olds. What I did was cut an access hole in the trunk floor over the mount. (pretty big, used a 3" hole saw) Heated the cage plate with torches, then used Visegrips to thread out the broken bolt.(there is enough bolt to get a grip on on the other side of the plate)

What Turbo cutlass said. :frown: The ONLY other way is to remove the body and HOPE to get them out , and if the cage nut breaks loose you have to cut the holes anyway.:mad:
Good Luck

That does suck, we had to cut one out of a car and get a replacement piece out of the J/Y. Sucks the way they break right off:tantrum2:
