see if you can find a left hand drill bit and a screw extractor the right size for your broke bolt. lot of times the left hand drill will bring what's left of the screw out. if it doesn't then try the extractor. be extra careful, they break easy and then you'd have more problems than you do now. if that does work try to drill it out with the tap drill size and retap the hole.

89,

That probably never would have happened if the screw had anti-seize on it.
