Broken rear lower control arm bolt

[Vtec Missing]

I want to know what would be the best way to remove a broken rear lower control arm bolt. I search all over google and other Honda forum to find a way to remove the bolt. I really don't want to heat it up and destroy the bushing but if I have to I will. I want to try something else before I do that. I was thinking of cutting off the welded nut and knocking the bolt threw or drilling it out. what type of drill bit would I use. what would be the best way to attack this.

You're going to have to replace the bushing anyways. It's very common for them to break. The reason it's common is because the bushing corroded to the bolt. So it won't turn and snaps off.
