HELP! headlight motor problems

Today i was taking my headlight motor apart so i could take a look at the gear. When i went to loosen one of the two bolts that connect the motor to the gear housing it snapped off!!! If i cant get the bottom of that bolt out will the headlight motor still work properly ??? Or will i have to get a new one. if anyone has any ideas how to fix this mess dont be shy, let me know.

Vomex ... I did the same thing on a 91 T/A. Both bolts snapped when I tried to loosen them. I had to drill them out and things went from bad to worse when I broke off an easyout in one of them. I eventually got both drilled out and finished with a bolt, lock washer and nut. It may be too early to tell but it's working perfectly so far after several weeks. I think as long as its sealed good and the bolts hold it should be fine.
