Screw extractors, 'easy-outs', lots of penetrating oil, etc. etc. etc.
However- after you've tried all this stuff, usually with nothing but alot of frustration- you may want to weld another bolt to the broken one in order to remove (heat from welding also helps loosen things up)- however- you had better have been planning on bodywork and a paint-job if going this way (I assume the studs [formerly bolts] are stuck in the body- not the soft ground effects themselves).

The studs or bolts are stuck in the GFX. When I removed the nut off the bolt it snapped off. There is still a bit of the bolt visible but it is in the GFX. I am planning on new paint and body work. Where can i get new ones studs/bolts?
