Tim and Dave Otis are right about getting those damn bolts out. Also, if
you can preserve the threads and you still have some bolt shreads in the
hole use a dental pick to get the remaining shreads of metal out. Bob

Hey Tim,

I had to do this many moons ago when my (then) idiot brother-in-law, who
knew everything, figured that 100 foot/pounds of torque was good for those
bolts!
What I do is drill the bolts out further, until there isn't much left but
the threads. I've always been able to peel them out after that. You do
have
 to be very careful, so as not to ruin the threads
