It's the corrosion that's holding what's left of the bolt in - the hub itself isn't threaded for the lower bolt. A good soaking in Plus Gas or similar and a punch and hammer might knock it out.
Again if you can get a blow torch on the bolt end (wrap a wet rag around the driveshaft gaitor) get it good and hot it will expand a bit and when cooled down loosen up. I've had a bit of luck with freezing release oil spray in a similar situation - with the hub warmed up spray the bolt and it cools and shrinks a bit. You can get it out complete with the lower arm, but you'll probably find the top hub bolt is harder to get out than the bottom. I certainly did. Mike |

It’s definitely been sorted, the OP’s car is long gone, the engine seized causing its departure.
