Broke bolt in rear control arm.....Replacement

[simple_king]

So both bolts snapped in the control arm that holds the end link. So I attempted to extract it and as it turned the tool snapped. So Im just going to pick up a replacement from a junk yard that looks better than the one I have with not a spec of rust. How difficult is it to replace? I see three mounting points. Is it straight forward to just remove 3 bolts?

You're talking about the rear lower aluminum control arm?

[simple_king]

Yes

Yes

These are a PITA to replace, you will also require a spring-compressor, if you look above the arm, the spring is seated in it. If you simply remove the bolts, the spring will shoot from the car and probably in your face.

Ok. So got all bolts out except one. The bolt that sits behind the spring. I got it loose but as soon as it reaches the end it hits a big plastic box. Can I remove that plastic box behind it?
