Default Body mount/bushing

So this weekend was a suspension and steering weekend, new shocks, lower ball joints, etc.
I was also putting on a set of step bars for my wife (5ft noth'n), the passenger side went well and easy peesy; the driver side though, the front bushing bolt broke two craftsman sockets and the head sheared clean off with the impact.

I tried drilling out and tapping, but that sucker is tough.
Unless I can get it out, I'm thinking of fabbing up and welding on a new body mount and putting on a new bushing
Any ideas?

I had to use heat to most of mine and I used a MAP gas torch.. Oh and lots of penetrating oil.

Might be too late for that but worth a try.

Good Luck
