I broke one of he two bolts that hold the little bracket that holds the sway bar to the frame on the drivers side. I was adding my crok frame stiffener and it broke what's the best way to go about getting it out. I tried searching for this but didn't find anything so if anyone knows a link or had this happen to them let me know

It's on the front sway bar and the bolt is stuck up inside the frame rail so I can't just cut it out and I still need to get another bolt back in there

If there's any sticking out weld a nut to it. If not go to the parts store, or local hardware store and get a bolt extractor.
You can drill a hole in the end of the broken bolt, use a hammer with the extractor and use a wrench to get it out. They are fairly cheap and handy to have.
