get some penetrating oil and an EZ-out. the bolt was probably pretty rusty, you may need to clean up the threads with a tap after you extract the broken bolt.

If it's broken off flush and you can't get anything on it to remove it just use a air hammer and punch out the weld nut. Then pick up some flag nuts and fish them in there and your done.

you can also drill a hole into the bolt and tap a allen wrench into it and get it that way. if you do it that way its much easier if you use the hex head sockets.
