So I did end up getting a new bolt from SUBARU. However I now am faced with the problem with getting the broken off piece out of the bracket. I bought one of those extractor kits and immediately broke it when I tried to use it. I guess I will now try to find the piece that the bolt thread is stuck in. I don't know what its called but its the little metal plunger with the rubber boot on it.

sigh

EDIT
I guess its called a bolt pin kit and they have them at Kragen.

Is there ever an easy job when it comes to working on the subaru?
