Depends where and how it's snapped .. Can you undo the others, remove the flange and use mole grips/summat big and torquey to remove it?
Or if it's down the hole drill the centre and use an easi-out, or weld another not/bolthead to it, or take the whole hub to an engineering works that does spark erosion,

not sure how far down, looks like its just above the level of the thread, abit kinda flange level if u understand me, was thinkin if i cud take the flange off (which requires what exactly, other than maybe snapping more bolts?) i wud have a better job at getting that bolt out, and was thinking of these easy outs ---> Linkage
expensive, but these ones ----> i've been told are ****e and will snap if theres too much torque

the bolts will have thread lock on em and they seem to snap very easily so watch out! dont know if there is any way of softening up the thread lock before you try and undo em.

If you have a few mm sticking out I'd try a stud extractor before resorting to a drill. Or weld a nut onto the end and undo em with that.

They look OK, 'specially as they're a left hand drill .. they ofren take the stud/bolt out before needing the extractor part ...
Last time I bought a set like those cost me over £50, and that was in the 80's ... wish I still had 'em ...

desided to go the cheaper option, gonna see if that'll work, but i'm gonna take the flange off first t give me a better chance, and if that dont work gonna take rattys advise and weld a nut on
just thought, i need a hub nut spanner dont i?
