Why are you gonna cut it? To get it out i assume. I replaced the rack in my car and had to take the motor mount bolt out to raise the engine and let the bolt clear the pan. When I put them back in I installed them reversly so they come out the front now.

I think you will have to order that bolt from the dealer.
