What's mildly irritating you today?

Yeah. I got it out. It was sticking out the other side of the welded on nut, so I grabbed it by the threads with vice grips, which are a hand tool,

and was able to keep it going forward all the way out the other side. Good thing too, because it snapped inside the new mount, and I wouldn't have been able to get at it from that side.

It was hard to turn, snapped off, then the part inside didn't take a lot of torque to turn with the vicegrips (a hand tool of undetermined handedness)?

That would rule out galling and a burr or foreign material binding.
