One thing that leads me to believe that the bracket might be stripped is that the bolt will pretty much just let me push it all the way up with my socket extension, turns freely as much as I feel like trying, and then pulls/falls right back out again.
So ... all your talk of sawzalls and cutting torches has me scared. Those bracket bolts must not be too easy to free, eh?

Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are saying but the threads are in the motor mount, not the arm.
the hole in the arm just allows the bolt to slip in, then you have to align it to thread into the motor mount.
