go to a parts store and get an easy out, relatively small diameter. the instructions will tell you what sized drill bit u need. drill the center of the bolt out (not too deep, only want to drill the bolt not the housing) then tighten the easy out in the hole (it's reverse thread) so you'll be turning it counter clockwise. eventually it will bottom out and begin to turn the bolt out....get a new bolt and you're done!
