Only at Toyota, after they've broken.
My mechanic replaced the one broken and other still intact bolt in about an hour. My total cost for parts and labour (two visits) ~$130.00.

Strange. I found the broken bolt head and washer in my parking spot at school this morning. Odd that it would have snapped while parked. The bolt was clearly defective with rust extending better than halfway through it's half inch shank, right at the head where the flat washer would be.
