You might be able to use a reverse drill bit to get it out. I dont know exactly which bolt you are talking about, but usually this works to get out broken bolts.

Post a pic, if you can. Someone will have an idea for you.

They make tools to do this. Basically you drill a small pilot hole in the bolt with a smaller bit and then put the special tool in your drill, put the drill in reverse and it'll grab the bolt and turn it out. I think they are called Easy Outs, I've used one they work.

Thats it...those bolts suck. I have broken a few my self cause they get weak when you have to pull apart a motor so much. Just make sure your not over tightening them too much and go slow because you can actually feel them twist before they break. They do give you a warning, but you have to go slow. Make sure you cover the head when doing the drilling process so no flakes get into the head and dip the drill bit in some thick grease so it will also help in collecting the metal flakes.
