Question Broken Lower Shock Mount Bracket

I was wondering if anyone can chime in or give me some insight. I'be been driving and building these cars for years and I have now ran into something that I haven't experienced before.

While installing my coilovers, I was trying to loosen the bolts on the lower shock mount bracket that has the swaybar endlink attached to it. The bolt actually snapped and only would have 1 bolt holding it in place. Do I have to order a whole new LCA or can I just order the bracket and does it come with new bolts?

Kind of screwed right now because the SC is my daily driver and no parts yards in the area have any SC's for me to tear apart.

Part numbers if you want to buy them from lexus.

Left shock bracket (driver): 4851524010
Right shock bracket (Passenger): 4851424010
Bolts from bracket to LCA: 9011910079

If i were you, then I would try to find someone who replaced their stock lca with supra arms and ask them to buy those parts before the arms get trashed.

If you're talking about the bolt that holds the shock mounting brackets on the LCA, the only thing I can think of removing the broken part would be taking it to a machine shop, and they'd weld the broken bolt part to a 'T' shaped tool so they can twist it out of it.
