Default How in the hell do I fix a broken nut inside the frame? And other things..

Car=1999 Si

Ok so my motor mounts are shot, really shot. Found out the back motor mount under the intake isn't even bolted to the motor, the mount next to the AC compresser is completely broken away, and the under the tranny to the frame rail has both bolt holes stripped. There is nothing to bolt the damn mount to!!

Questions

1. How in the hell do I get the bolt for the engine mount under the intake in there? I can hardly see it, under and over the engine. I am not pulling the intake.

2. The mount on the tranny side on the bottom, what should I do to fix this? The nuts are completly broken inside the frame, and both bolts are half undone.

3. I think my axle shaft on the driver side is bad, grease in the wheel and when I drive I hear popping, the faster I drive (no matter RPM), the faster the clicking. What all needs replaced when doing this?

4. Whenever I just get in my car and got to leave somewhere, and I cut the wheel hard to the left as I am backing out, there is a loud pop I can feel through the wheel, is that the axle shaft doing that? I didn't see anything out of place other then that when I was under there.
