I'm going to work on it this weekend.

I haven't even looked under the hood to see what is left of the broken bolt.
I'm thinking, weld a nut on what is left and try to back it out.

That would be after a good soak of penetrating oil.
Between that and the heat from the welder, I hope it gives it up.

If that fails, I'll try drilling it out and doing a Heli-Coil or just tapping for a larger bolt in that one hole.
