Need Help, Busted bolt head!!!!!

The bolt head busted off the rear shock mount. Now i have no car to drive. I need to know how to get the bolt out. Can i get that part at crappy tire or is it a dealer part. The whole bushing needs replacing. What can I do?

If the bolt head broke off....then wouldn't it be easier to get it off?

Now it's even harder. The bolt sits flush with the shock so there's no way to grab it. I think the bolt is stuck to the bushing. The only way i think i can get it out is by cutting the bolt on the inside of the shock then replace the bushing and the bolt.Problem is crappy tire doesn't sell the bushing and Honda's not open till tomorrow. I had to go and rent a car to get to work till it's fixed.

On another note the front is lowered 1 3/4 inches and looks sweet.Hopefully it will be fixed by the meet.

Got the bolt out using a hacksaw, what a lot of work. Now need to wait for Honda to open on Monday.
