Get a dremel, and some cutting discs (the smaller the better, so maybe grab a used one) and carve an X on it, this will be the equivelent of a centre punch.
Or just use that very small worn out cutoff wheel to make a slot to use a flathead screw driver. Buy, borrow or rent a small impact screwdriver if its to stubborn for a hand. Also screwdriver bits on a ratchet are great for stubborn ones to. They allow you to put a lot of pressure between the bit and your target and gives you allot more leverage at the same time.
Sorry for getting a bit of topic but I'm bored.
Yea I got it out last night, I started off with a 1/16 bit and it went in real smooth, then redrilled with a 1/8 bit, easy out pulled it right out. Thanks for info
If your drill bit goes off center use a small carbide burr to grind it back to center. they sell small enough burrs for air die grinders.
Pretty much the basic idea. However due to the circumference of a cutting wheel, once you cut into the snapped off stud a bit, you'll start cutting into the frame.
If the cutoff wheel is wore down to the same or slightly smaller diameter of the bolt, you have a steady hand, and enough clearance to get it at a decent angle it can be done pretty easily. But it really just depends on what tools you have access to and or your preferred method. Options can be a wonderful thing.
