Default 1stGEN crx, rear shock problem HELP!!!! PLEASE!!!

Hey, i have a 86 1st gen crx. it runs good and everything, but the problem i have is with the rear passanger side shock. The Bolt that holds the bottom of the shock, near my wheel is bent. it looks like a L. I tried to take it off but it wont budge. nothing is damaged bad. i guess i ran over sumthing that made it pop out. right now my rae shock is resting on nothing. i just need to put a new bolt in or should i weld the whole thing together, i need advise. and how can i remove the broken bolt???? n e help i would be useful. please i need help

try a cutting torch or an angle grinder with a cut off wheel. I had to torch mine out.

DON'T WELD ANYTHING!!!
just hack the hell out of the bottom of the strut with a grinder or dremel and buy a new 25 dollar shock and bolt.

Any Home Depot or store like that for the grinder. Or Sears I got a sweet digrinder for $59 at a Sears on sale. The Dremel you can get at Wal-Mart.
