Are the bolt remnants where you can get to them with a welder? The local tiling company which is housed up across the road from us had a broken bolt in a torque converter assembly off of a backhoe. It was broken off below flush and they were ready to junk it. We used a piece of tin to protect the milled surface on the converter and cut a small hole to work through. I welded a flat washer, which was slightly smaller than the bolt diameter, to the broken off bolt. Then welded a nut onto the washer and let them both cool. Putting a boxend wrench on the nut and rocking back and forth, the broken stud came out. I have used this method on many broken studs [ bolts ] & have had excellent results. On large bolts, a nut can be welded directly to the broken bolt. Onreally tough ones, I have had to weld as many as 10 to 15 washers in a row onto a stud to get it out. I think that the heat breaks the rust to some extent. Penetrating oil helps also.
