you couild replace the wheel bearing and hub flange on that corner. bit pricey though... i would use punch and hammer first to see if you can get it to move.if not, then i would MIG weld a smaller sized nut on the end of the sheared bolt and remove.. that to me seems the quickest and cheapest way of sorting it. hope this helps!!!
