teh broken bolt is probably stuck in the rubber. the only thing you can do is heat it with atroch and try to melt the rubber. However the rubber will probably burn so you'll have to keep putting it out. then take a drift and hammer and drive the bolt out. YOu will have to replace the rubber bushings as well....
