To quote John Mackie, "Double crap!"

Tried to replace the missing engine mount bolt this morning only to find there was already a bolt, or more properly a headless bolt already in there. It was after asking John's advice on how best to remove the bolt that he said "Crap!" It was after he realized that it was the most inaccessible bolt that he said, "Double crap!" After removing the engine mount I got this picture of the broken bolt. I don't believe it was a shear failure as the mount is still lined up with transmission. Fatigue is the likely culprit. If so, it won't be too hard to get the bolt out.
