There are 4 bolts. Two either side of the "U" attaching the mount to the chassis. And two in the centre of the mount attaching the mount to the actual bracket(looks the shape of a ducks bill in the pic) that goes between the block and the mount.
What you've broke and how much help this is to you i do not know!
The trouble im having is to get the bolt out now the captive nut is broken.
It must be proper rusted in as on the other one the bolt wont even move unless busting a gut with a long bar, even though the captive nut is broke on that aswell!
I have retired for the day, and am planning to attack both the bolts with the drill tomorrow to get em out.
Other than drilling through the blighters, is there any other methods i could do to get em out?
The captive nut its mashed completley, plus i dont have a welder, so reusing it is kinda out of the question
Would it be an idea to drop a new bolt down instead of pushing it up?
I mean as long as i can get a spanner through the holes to keep a grip, it would be easier wouldnt it?
