you can buy bolt extractors with a left hand thread just drill the bugger out then wind in the extractor allowing you to get the remaining bolt out a little heat will help try using a plumbers blow torch or if you have enough of the bolt left try using mole grips with heat or my friend the only other option is drill it out and re tap the hole just make sure the drill is the right size for the thread you need hope this helps regards rich

If there is a stud sticking out, you can weld a nut on the stub and wrench it out.
