2000 Expy-C.O.P Bolt broke off

I was on number six when I turned the ratchet and felt it turn way too easy. It turns out the bolt was weak and broke inside the mounting. Does anyone know of a company in southern California, Los Angeles areas that can remove broken bolts such as these? Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm looking for a more permanent fix, in case I decide to sell the Expy down the road. A new buyer would probably not see it as a minor problem, and want me to fix it anyway.

not a problem. i'm not one for cobbling stuff myself, but getting at that bolt is going to be time consuming and knowing that i could ruin something else in the process, why take the chance. if someone is buying a 6 yrs old expy you better know how to turn a wrench or know a good mechanic. i have two kids and need the gas money!!

good luck.
