do you mean the bolt on the lower control arm that holds the strut/shock in place?

if yes then you are basically fucked. i have been in this situation 3 times now.

u can try drilling through the bolt but that didnt work for me. what i did was just cut between the shock fork and control arm through the bushing. then you have to get a new bushing and bolt ...

I had the same problem earlier this week. I used sawzall to cut the bolt and the bushing out. It took about 20 minutes with the sawzall. Good luck, remember you have to replace the bushing that will set you back 25 bucks plus 8 for a new bolt.
