Buy a nut splitter, split the nut & the bolt will come out.

Take what's left of the bolt to a nut & bolt house & get new ones. Use anti-sieze when you put them back on.

On second thought this tool will probably do the job......it's cheaper and you can pick it up locally if you have a Sears store in your neighborhood. http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...pecialty+Tools
