I can't tell anything much from your photo, but if its in that hollow pin, then you can just pull the pin out and maybe get a better grip on the broken bolt. A lite grip on some pliers or dykes will pull the pin with no problem.
Its in that guide pin, thanks for the info, i will remove it today.

Honestly, i remember the same thing happening to me with the other bolt. I keep tightening and it doesn't seem to get tighter, then i hear a pop and the bolt just gives out.

The new bolt that i replaced torqued down all the way.
