I have broken bolt and i try to figure out how to remove the thread out. That s mean i will have to drill hole into broken bolt and use special remover to remove the broken bolt out? right?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

A little more detail would help... what's it broke off in... steel, cast iron, or aluminum?

Is it badly rusted in place or just overtightened and snapped off?

As you can tell from the other guy's post, often "easy outs" AREN'T easy!

Often, depending upon the metal it's broken off in, it works to weld a flat washer to the remains of the bolt, burning the weld into the broken piece as much as possible, and getting it as HOT as possible. Then, weld a nut to the washer, again getting things as hot as possible.

When it cools to a safe heat, begin to apply "loosen juice", and allow the parts to cool to ambient. THEN, try wiggling the broken part loose.

Repeat the procedure, if the first try doesn't succeed.
 
Weld a flat washer to it then weld a nut to the flat washer. Let it cool and it will turn out. I have sometimes had to weld the washer on a second time and heat the area up with he torch. An easy out is a waste of time and energy. If you have to drill a hole in the bolt to get it out I hope it is grade 2 for your drills sake.
 
Here's where a wire feed comes in. Weld a nut to the bolt, or a washer and then a nut. It's harder if the bolt is broke off under the surface. I did it just the other day in stainless and it worked great. It was to replace the agitator motor on our bulk milk cooler.

The last time it was replaced the guy used steel bolts instead of stainless. 2 of the bolts broke off on dad, so I pulled out the wire feed and welded a nut to it. Took 2 tries to each nut, but it worked great.
