Motor Mount Bolts Spinning

Motor Mount Bolts Spinning
Hey Guys,
Yesterday I was trying to change the front motor mount on my 06 TL, and I realized that the bolts that hold the mount to the subframe just spin. it looks like there was a nut underneath it that was welded to the subframe, and the weld broke possibly.
Has anyone else ran into this issue?
I was thinking maybe putting JB weld on it, letting it sit for a few days and spraying it with penetrating fluid keeping my fingers crossed?
Thanks

Should be able to put a boxed end of a wrench on the underside of the mount bolt and trap it under there as you work from above. Else have a helper hold wrench.
try JB weld but not likely to hold as these bolts should be around 50 ft/lbs tourque.
