Only ONE of the 4 uppers broke. Yay for me. The first thing I tried was to pound off the nut with a punch and hammer. After a few wacks I desided that wasnt going to work.
Plan B: Cut a hole in the floor and get at it from there:
1)Measured 35inches from bumper to bolt
2)Cut a square out of the floor from that measurment
3)Couldnt twist the stud out with a pair of Vice Grips. So I Mapp Gased the nut. The stud broke loose and slowly but surely it came out.
4)Patch hole[still needs to be done but I'll to that later]
Square cut out:
the stud is laying by the lower right of the square
New Bolt from JKS BPE:
Thats all that it took.
