Broken Locking hub bolt removal.

I recently removed the locking hub assembly from one side of my 78 f250, and had some incompetent help break two of the Allen bolts that hold it on deep inside of the hub.

What would be the best way to remove the bolts without screwing up the hub too much? Where would I be able to get replacements?

Thanks

Doubt there is much chance of getting them out. You might be able to drill the hole out and use heli-coils. I am sure the remainder of the 4 screws would be able to hold everything in place if you don't want to flirt with danger or just get a replacement hub.
