Just did that exact (surgery) on my 3020 last weekend. Depending on your size my operation was on a 1/2 inch bolt that had been broken off at the casting. I used a center punch first and made sure I made a really REALLY nice hole score in the middle of the bolt. Then drilled a hole down through the center about 1/4 - 1/2 down. Now the portion of my bolt which remained in the hole was about 1 1/2 inch so I went down 1/4 to start then used an Easy Out (which come in various sizes) screwed it into the hole and started unscrewing the remaining part out. Retap the hole to clean out any remaining shavings and insert new bolt.. Honestly though usually it takes alittle more drilling to get the right depth so the Easy Out will grab but go alittle at first. Now if its to small of bolt to use an Easy Out I have used a bit slightly smaller then the bolt and just drilled it completely out (checking before on the cast sides and depth) then tapt the hole or even went a size bigger. JUST DEPENDS ON CAST WALL THICKNESS. GOOD LUCK TAKE YOUR TIME
