Default Broken flywheel bolts

My 96 accord has like 5 or 6 broken flywheel bolts the fly wheel is no longer attached to the engine but the bolts are still stuck in the engine they recommend that I swapped the engine or replace the crank but I don't have the money for that so I was thinking if it was possible to take the bolts off some how not really trying to spend 1200 on it yet let me know asap I'll post some pics when I see it again

You will have to use a bolt extractor on them. Someone must have used the red threadlock on them instead of the blue. Basically you have to drill into the middle. Then hammer the bolt extractor in, then turn the bolt out and it will pull the flywheel bolts out since the bolt extractor is reverse threaded so turning it out will push it in, but it will pull the flywheel bolts out.

It would be best to call around and find an experienced mechanic who has used them before.

You can weld a bolt or nut to the end of the broken stud and turn it using a wrench.

If loctite was used, before trying to extract anything, get a small MAP torch and heat up each bolt til its about ~500°F/260°C to release the loctite. Otherwise you are just going to be breaking extractors. You might be able to remove the busted ends with just a punch after you have broken the loctite bond.
Don't forget to replace the rear main seal when you are done, as that much heat is not going to be good for it.
