Thank you again, clan. I cut a rectangle opening out by cutting three of four sides and bent the piece of metal downwards to salvage it later. I used my dremel to cut away at the nut enclosure until I could pull the nut and broken bolt out. I even managed to save the nut by Heater the crap out of it and the broken bolt until I was able to work it free. Didn’t even have to take away bar link off - I just took strut off and sat it on its side over top of the brake caliper.
