Broken Subframe Mount "BOLT" 83' 300sd

I have a BIG problem!

I was removing the bolt to the driver side rear subframe mount. It was moving slowly, with what I thought to be a reasonable amount of force. I was using a 24" braker-bar and socket. I was not having to put all my back into it to get the bolt turning. I felt it was going to come out okay. Suddenly... POP! The bolt broke with about 5 threads left on it. The rest of the bolt still up in the mount threads. ARG!

I am now wondering if anyone has an idea of what now needs to happen to resolve this horific thing I've done to my car.

PLEASE HELP ME! I need ideas!
