last nite my alternator belt came off again and i realised the all my engine mount bolts had snapped inside the block.. how do i get them out? i know i can drill them out but is this something i can do or does it need to be properly done by a profesional?
also, when i get new bolts, do i need to get certain bolts or will any bolts do aslong as their the same size?

You could probably drill them yourself with a steady hand, then tap the hole again
