remove the clutch hub...
drill the sheared bolt with a 3mm drill down it's centre
around 10mm deep...
get a set of easy outs... screw the size that fits into
the hole you have drilled... "easy outs are a left hand thread
is oposite to the bolt... when they come tight they the unscrew
the broken bolt...
heat the alloy around the broken bolt just before you use the easy out
it will come out easyer..a lot easyer...
I know sounds complex but it's not really... i know easy to say....
Ps.. yer could do it with out removing the clutch hub... just remove
the presure plate & clutch plates..
Make sure the drill swarf dosn't get in the motor... heaps of rags packed
around the clutch.... grease on the drill to pick up the swarf....

You beat me to it! also to get the hole for the bolt extractor first use a scriber to put a small mark on centre, double check its position then use a ground point centre pop and double check its on centre again before drilling. I haven't seen the bolt in question but in most cases even if you completely destroy the original threads you can usualy fit a helicoil insert as a last resort. Be careful and all should be well.
