Crap!!

While trying to remove my swaybar the bottom bushing/nut/bolt sheared... The thing put up one hell of a fight man. I think its cause theres so much rust on it and they just locked up. Is there a special tool I should be using? Where can I get another mounting bolt? I didnt even try to take the rest of it off cause I prolly woulda broke it more. I need new bushings as well.. Any recomendations? If anyone in the area wants to help me out it would be greatly appreciated. All I wanna do is swap my rearend to a posi unit from a Formula... Didnt think it would be this hard. Thanks

Don't know for sure if that's the right length; they make LOTS of lengths; but should give you an idea.
