You got a couple car battery's? 3 ran in series and you got a hillbilly welder. I used 2 sets f jumper cables when te bolt on my body mount snapped. Used some welding rod nd a makeshift face pretection and went to work. Now I got a 220 arch and a 110 mig welder and a real welding mask lol

air hammer with chisel bit will cut right through the bolt. no access to air hammer use normal hammer and good sharp chisel.
Wear hearing and eye protection!!!!!

If you cut a groove down the side of the bolt deep enough you can use a pry bar to break it and open the bolt enough to slip it up over the stud.
