Re: Bolt. Broken. Help.
That second pic makes it look like you could just stick a wrench up in there and unscrew it.
Failing that, it looks like you have enough room to get a sawzall or a cutting wheel on it.

The nut's welded on to the axle. I don't particularly want to cut it off. Just want to get the broken bolt bit out of it.

Ah, I see. Well, drill it and get an extractor in there, otherwise you'll have to cut it out.

From those images it looks quite accessible with a drill, but then again I'm not the one under the vehicle.
Can you get access to an angled chuck extension?

Its saved me a few times drilling in restricted places.
