Default snapped bolts on the water pump. HELP!!!!

ok, so i snapped two bolts off in the block that hold the water pump on. shitty.
im not sure how it happened... they just snapped, i was taking them out and blam.

i tried using an easy out, and both times they broke off in the piece that was stuck in the block. so... now i have 2 bolts, with pieces of easy out in them, IN THE BLOCK.

the holes are right next to each other, the furthest two to the left, so it will DEFINATLY leak.

can anyone offer any ideas?

hmmm... this could be risky but you could drill out the bolts and rethread the holes but you would have to be careful that your not drilling into any oil/coolant passages

I know it's been a while on this thread but did you fix that problem jbell? And how did you take care of it because I just did the same thing with one of my water pump bolts.
