I'm trying to help out a friend with a G35 Coupe. He snapped one of the bolts on the upper mount of the rear strut. Is there a way to get to the 2 bolts? Here is a picture for reference.

One of the 2 has been snapped in half. Just need to figure out how to get to it so i can change it out for him.

Thanks in advance

 

found someone else who had this problem

now the question is if it is possible to go through the trunk lining or so to get to the stud/bolt or would i have to just drill it out and use the center strut opening to throw in a new bolt

Thanks again

 

Use the rear a-arm and diamond floor jack to give the hammerdrill an extra push from the ground. Then just put in the new bolt through the rear strut whole. Just need the new bolt to hold it there in place when tightening.
