Suspension snapped tie rod bolt

Do not drive the car.
(Had to say that)
Hammer it out, by hitting it on the sides of the knuckle where the joint is.
Remove old rod. Count turns needed to unbolt it.
Replace tie rod. Count same number of turns.
Lock jamb nut.
Get alignment if paranoid.

Whilst not a Mini DIY, this one I made for my Jetta is the same deal.
