There are a few Honda dealerships in the area. You'll need to get the whole bolt out before you try and replace it. I had to cut the nut off the strut and put a bolt and lock nut on a friend's car. Actually ended up swapping out both his lca's with my old gsr's because both of his bolts broke. If you can't get it out, LMK- I live in city park.

i had this problem just the other day(actually last year lol)...my story..the lower strut bolt snapped. we took another 17, put it on the side where the tacked nut is and jump on it snapping the welds and un jamming the rod of the bolt with it...

I think this impact gun and a 17 should work hopefully it does, or i'll have to wait and save up and buy a lower control arm.
