if u dont get it with that, u COULD take it to the nearest welding shop and get them to weld a washer to the broken bolt then weld another hardened bolt to the washer, works everytime, i work at a shop and do it at least once a day. but its just a thought

both sears and home depot and just about any other hardware store will have screw extractors. theyre usually like 3 bucks a piece or 10-20 for a set depending on quantity/quality. annnnnd being a nice guy i found a tutorial for you google style: http://www.bluepoof.com/motorcycles/...rew_extractor/
