If the head of the bolt is sheered off, your that much further ahead. Remove other bolts, get the pump and the brackets out of the way. With the pressure off the bolt, it is now easy to remove. If flush with mounting surface, get a ease out and drill bit (comes as a kit) tell them what size bolt your dealing with. Drill a hole in the center of the bolt. Use a center punch first to "make an impression" in the center, so your drill bit doesnt drift off center. Also, first be sure bolt dosnt move when tapped in a counter clockwise direction. (Righty tighty...lefty loosey) It'll save you a lot of work.

A little common sense goes a long way!
