Drill it out?

Push it right through with another smaller bolt?

its on an escort van caliper bracket. the bolt has sheered inside, not even flush. it cant come out the other side as the bolt only goes in one side hard to explain

so to put it in lameman terms you were unscrewing or screwing the bolt into the caliper, the bolt snapped and one end is in the caliper.

purchase a stud extractor kit, then drill a small hole down the center of the sheared bolt, then you wind the stud extractor in, it tightens but due to its left hand thread it will start to undo the bolt as it tightens

right get a decent stud extractor kit
progressivly drill the hole to its largest then heat it up, lots with a blow torch front and back.

tap in the extractor and undo

it worked for me
