#31413, "curved control arm + broken bolt = bad news."


          

Any ideas how to get this sucker out of the crossmember? Or should I just replace the entire crossmember? The red in the photo shows what is all involved here. Story of how it happened below photo.

Thanks



The story-
So I go to change my passenger curved control arm on my 95 esi and had a fun time getting off the ball joint. Finally got it off at this point I was pretty stoked because the other side took 3 hours, with a ball joint remover. So I just got 2 bolts to go. Start removing the bolt and I noticed that it wasn’t going any ware. So I figured what the heck its an old car I will give her some force. Then snap the head of the bolt comes right off...funny thing is I have a small oil leak that keeps the bottom of my car lubed up all nice. The control arm bolts looked new compared to most of the other bolts on my car. So after a few 4 letter words here I am trying to figure out how to remove the part that’s stuck in the crossmember (yay).

car info:
Year: 95
Make: Talon
Model: Esi
Miles: 245k
