You can get stud removers - you drill a hole in the sheared end of
stud/sheared bolt and then screwed in the remover using a tap wrench,
it had left hand thread and when it bit hard it would allow you to
exert an anticlockwise pressure and unscrew the stud. Radiospares do
them at http://tinyurl.com/d3p9u

Hello,
Nice day to cut the grass I thought. All going well until CRASH!!!!
I'd hit the rotary washing line ground spike with the mower and the blade
came off with a crunch. After inspecting the damage, it appears that the
main bolt to hold the blade on has sheared off leaving part of it still
screwed in.
Is this a repairable job or does it mean a new mower.
