    All depends on which ones they are.... None are easy. you need to drill access holes above the mount to get to the nuts. You also need the shims Scott had made or the body will slip around on the frame.

        time to get out the drill. 2 of mine broke too, both in the trunk. I also had a spinny one, the metal clip that holds the nut in place broke, and it wouldn't thread out. I cut a hole for that one too so I could get the old bolt out. I put a new nut in and its all good. Can't really give you any more specific advice than that, its a nasty job and those bolts are really ignorant to deal with when they snap.

        Oh, suggestion if you haven't already, spray the other bolts liberally with good penetrating oil. Get it up as close to the threads as possible with the straw. Hopefully it will let the others come loose without issues.

                half thread is fine. Only need the last inch or so. m10x1.50x85 is the bolt you need. mcmaster-carr has them. also need lockwashers and you'll want nuts for the ones that broke off.


                spacers would need to be made on a lathe or something of that nature. Basically its a washer machined down to the proper outer diameter, and the inner diameter is opened up to fit the bushing properly.
