headlight is stuck So I'm trying to replace my headlights,but I'm having a little problem with my driver side
The little bracket on the headlight which the bolt screws into is where I'm stuck. There is a little metal piece inside there with threads that has broken free from plastic surrounding it. There's my problem, while I'm trying to unscrew the bolt the threads are spinning with the bolt so I can't get the headlight out at all
I've tried a few things, PB blaster, pulling and prying, and trying to hold the metal piece still but nothing. Anyone have any ideas or fixes for this?
here's a picture of the piece for those who don't know what i'm talking about
