Ouch Tim. Where was the bolt, it must be siezed in tight or it wouldn't have sheared. I would start by heating the remainder of the bolt red hot and then dousing it with cold water. Then take a center punch and punch a mark in the dead center of the bolt, this is the most important part of the process. Then drill a small hole into the bolt , straight and well into the bolt. Go up a few sizes till you can get a good quality easy out into the hole. I prefer square shafted easy outs as they seem to bite in better , but a good easy out will work. If you still can't budge the bolt go back to heating it and the area around it red hot , douse and try again. Now you can use penetrants as well to help. Go easy, you don't want to snap the easy out off or you will have one H of a time trying to drill it out. The problem is the bolt siezed in the hole ,not the fact that the head is gone so work from that theory...get the bolt to unsieze and the easy out will bring it. Let us know how it goes . Also is there enough of the bolt sticking out to get a vise grip on?..even if there is ,use the easy out in combination with the vise grip...good luck from Mike in Exeter Ontario
