#1...CHEAP TOOLS DO NOT PAY !!
Check out a set of those new left hand reverse & out drill bits at SEARS. I have used the smaller ones on kitchen equipment were the heat cool cycle is pretty rough; and so are the bolts. Heat bolts as hot as you can to anile them. Plenty of liquid wrench etc. to cool the bit as you drill. Slow and easy dude.
One trick an old timer, and I mean old, this guy worked on horse equipment as a kid. Punch the bolt with a good sharp center punch. With out the ability to send a picture..think of MR.Bill's face on Saturday night. Drill a hole about 1/2 the size of your bolt JUST inside of the thread. Next drill two smaller holes just inside the thread and have them just touch the edge of the big hole. This gives you three holes. If you do it correctly the old pieces will fall out or need a little help from a screw driver etc. A lot of work BUT.... Hope it helps Jeff
