drivers door kept making a popping sound, decided to take check strap off (door limiter) except to find bolts spin in place. was able to take strap off but the two side mounting bolts wont come out and the two mounting pieces of the limiter broke off and are stuck with the bolts. any ideas how to get these bolts off?
i thought die grinder but i dont kno if i wanna do that, i tried holding the ends of the bolt (inside the door) with a needle nose while using a socket wrench and its not happening, just wondering if maybe somebody had an idea that didnt cross my mind?
