Default HELP: broken bolt connecting upper control arm to hub assembly

Ok, here's the situation. The bolt connecting the upper control arm to the rear passenger hub assembly broke and is stuck in the nut. Can the nut be taken off? If not then should I drill the bolt out or get a new hub assembly?

You'll have to cut or break the welded nut off.

You can cut the nut off (usually you can just use a socket and breaker bar to break the nut off where it's welded, get a new bolt and nut, you'll probably also need to drill or beat a piece of bolt out of the upper control arm bushing as well.
