2G Dropping motor a little

[Littlefoot03]

I recently noticed that my car was leaking some fluid so I went under and looked around and saw that the two bolts on my half shaft bracket had broke off leaving the half shaft very lose. The bolts broke in the block so the only thing I can think of is pulling the motor to get them out. Has anyone tried to lower the motor and trans enough to get to them? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!

All you should need to do is pull your intake manifold or drop your exhaust to get at those bolts. Probably better to drop the exhaust though if you still have AC?

My exhaust is currently off, and I do not have ac. The previous owner removed it and I read that that puts to much stress on the bolts and that's why they broke. But they look like they'll need to be drilled out and I can't get a drill in there

IC. Before you go pulling the engine or drilling anything spray/soak them down with some penetrating fluid and try to back them out with something. They might be easy to back out if they snapped relatively recently. What was the method for compensating for the AC bracket space? That may have had something to do with them breaking. If the bracket is still there, just pull that thing out and you should have enough to grab ahold of at least one.
