Suspension Broken Strut Mounting Bolt

Broken Strut Mounting Bolt
I went to change my front coil-overs back to stock today and found that the PO had broken the head off the bolt that holds the strut to the knuckle.
Any suggestions??
I don't want to replace the knuckle but it looks like its going to be quite a task getting the rusted broken bolt out. Snap!
Thanks Mark

so ... it is the lower "pinch bolt" ?
if it is at least it is big enough to work with and it is a through bolt so you may be able to thread it either way that then gives you 4 options out or through from both sides.
If the bolt had threads on either side I would weld a bar to it ...or keep that as an option (but you need a welder handy )
First thing spray it and wait ...
Then use the best easy out (lucky out) you can find
....and good luck
