Default Broke a bolt in control arm.

So I go to take out the rear struts (to put on some Eibach springs) off the car and broke the first bolt I went to take out. Now, after messing with it for a few minutes, I have this chunk of bolt stuck in the bushing and I'm not sure how to get it out. It's pretty much level (flush) on both sides, including the 3/4 or 19mm bolt that was welded to the strut because I broke that off as well in attempt to pull it through the front side.

What would you suggest?

This is a common problem, the bushing and the bolt rust/seize into one overtime. You need to push that old bushing out and push in a new one if you wanna reuse the LCA or get different one
