(I've posted this in Off Topic because it applies to my wife's VW)
Maybe you guys can help me out with this. My wife has a VW Cabriolet that we're fixing up for her to put around in during the nice months. When we purchased the car it had a rusted gas tank. I replaced the old, leaking tank with a new one, but in the process of dropping the rear axle (crossmember) I sheared off one of the bolts that connects the axle to the chassis. I've started to drill the bolt out, which is fine, but the bolt is welded in from the top of the chassis. So once I get the bolt drilled out, how do I go about removing the rest of the head that's welded in? Here are a couple of photos:
The bolt on the right is sheared off:
This is taken from the top. You're looking through an access hole that's located under the back seat. The scratched up circle is the bolt head:
