   as the title says, two of my wheel bolts have snapped off and are stuck in the hub, anyone have any ideas on how to get them out? was thinking of drilling, but not sure if the drill bits will be able to go through bolts as there are solid steel

   buy a stud extractor and then you drill through the centre being very careful i put a piece of wood behind the studs just in case you drill through then when you insert the extractor the nut will undo as normal piece of piss really

   Yes, i did this a few weeks back, but mine was in a break disk as i dont have drums.
   
   its easy done.
   
   all i did was, jack up the car, remove the wheel, remove the break disk, and calliper, then you should see some sticking out that you can grab with molies.
   
   Yours is a drums. but its the same process. just remove the outer part of the drum
