No problem. Use a small punch and mark the offending broken nut in the middle. Use a small drill but and put a piolot hole through it.

Purchase a easy out (looks like a drill but the threads are tapered and go in reverse.

Look at the size of the easy out you are going to use (largest close to the size of bolt (dont forget the threads are there so leave a bit of room incase you damage the threads)



Drill hole slightly smaller than easy out bit.



Put the easyout in the hole and turn it till bolt comes out. NOTE: It will turn and get tighter as it grips and removes the broken bolt

Any tool shop or maybe Halfords. There not expensive. There a common tool so you will get them easily.
