so i was planning on sanding and primering all my fenders this week. when i got to the front right, i started down front, after removing the lights, and the bolt kept spinning. so, after opening the hood and taking a gander, i saw the body mount threading nut was broken off. i can't really get a pair of vise grips down there to grip on to it. any suggestions?

Grind off the head of the bolt.

i removed the bumper brackets and was able to fit some vise grips in there. now it's sanded and primed. thanks for the input though.
