In misery of broken bolt of front control arm...

I have no clue how to fix this. The bolt head broke off of the front lower control arm, and I really need it out too. Any suggestions?

same thing happened to me, a 4'' bolt takes a long *** time to drill, But an hour later it was all over. Make sure you buy extra bits cause you will need them.

Re:

I assume something is strill screwed in on one end of it so I doubt melting the bushing or something would work because the bolt is still threaded into something. I hate to say it but drilling out is probably the only thing that is going to work.
