Lower Torque Rod to the Axle...bolt snapped off! Help. 900 1993

I was jacking up the rear to check my brakes and UV joint as the possible source of a terrible clunk during take-off.....and I found it STARING ME IN THE FACE. The lower track rod is hanging there. The bolt is missing.

It's clearly the problem or part of it. The bolt first goes through a plate on the axle, then through the lower torque rod bushing and seems to bolt right into the differential housing. From appearances it seems to have snapped off about a half-inch into the housing.

Anyone have experience with this problem? The brick has 175k miles. I am going to try to round up transportation for tomorrow and fix the car in the evening. Can I do this with handtools? I am CONCERNED.
