Default broke bolt off in block

so its the far passenger side bolt on the water pump. i pulled everything off to get to it. and there was a lil bit sticking out. bout 1/2 inch sticking out. tried getting it out. ended up breaking again to about 1/4 inch..... kinda frustrated cuz this is the only thing stopping my project... any ideas on how to get it out? i do not have a welder... or money to pay somebody to take it out that way.. drilling and tapping??

You could try a easy out. You would dill the center and insert the bit in the hole you made, then back it out slowly. That and plenty of WD40
