Success! I got the 19mm nuts off and the mounting plate is free! Alignment should not be an issue since the position and height of the mounts were not disturbed. New part is on the way. Thanks for all the help.

perfect advice for the project. also if you have problems getting the plug into the headlight housing a simple removal of 3 screws and a nut in the fender well liner does the trick.
Here a link that I used to help me on the Pelican boards.
Thanks for the help guys.

My Headlight Tray broke in the same way but happened when I was removing the headlight. $180 out the window. What a piece of crap!!

One of the many joys of dealing with plastic pieces that have gone through 25 years of heat cycles, cold cycles, road vibration and fat fingers. It happens.
