What I do is place a steel nut that is ever so slightly larger on the inside than the broken bolt over the broken bolt. Then I fire up the mig welder and weld the exposed part of the broken bolt to the inside of the nut. Fill it up with weld. That puts a lot of heat into the area (Good thing), let it cool for just about 20-30sec and then put a socket or wrench on the nut and turn out the broken bolt. I have pic's on my camera from the one I did 5 days ago. It works everytime.
