Have you tried a cutting torch?? Just heat the broken bolt and blast it out of the hole. The cast axle housing will not melt because it has so much more iron to heat up than the poor, little cap screw that broke off years ago. Use as hot a pre-heat flame as your torch can develop and be prepared for sparks to fly back in your face when you press the oxygen lever. The tip may need cleaning when done and you need to use a thread tap to clean up the residue. Go easy so you don't break the tap in the hole. I have also used this proceedure on cast iron car cylinder heads that had a broken alternator mounting bolt where you couldn't get a drill or much of anything else to fit in behind the radiator. Sounds scary but works!
