Default Snapped bolt

I installed a Teraflex, HD Hinged Carrier on my 2013 2 dr, JK today and snapped a threaded bolt on the tub side of the hinge. The bolt snapped off just below the level of the hole so I can't grab and turn it with pliers. I have the right side subwoofer in the back of my JK. If I remove the plastic sidewall and woofer will it allow me to access the bolt from the back side and screw it out? I popped the speaker out but it only allows access to the speaker box and not the structure behind. If not I guess my only choice is to use an easy out.

Easy out is the best bet.

+1 never fun when that happens, but usually an easy out is the best solution.

Can you get at it by taking out the taillight? I'm looking at my tailgate from a distance and don't recall from my installation how it goes.
