Seat Bolt ...not there

[TRH]

While removing my driver's side seat today, I noticed one of the front bolts is actually broken off (the other 3 look brand new...hmm!). It seems flush with the floor pan. The seat is pretty sturdy with just 3, but still.
Am I going to have to drill it and retap/replace it, or can I just replace the j-nut and leave the bolt in there?

I really hate this split-bench anyway... so if replacement seats are an option, junkyard time is just gonna come sooner.

why not just extract the bolt? should be pretty easy to do with the seat out.

Well, I attempted to extract it. Started with an E-Z out but to no avail. Tried doublenutting it from underneath the truck to..no avail.
I'm going to grab a stud extractor and try that. And more PB Blaster. If that fails, I'll fire up the torch and say goodbye to my nice clean interior smell.
