Fireview, Bolt broke Andiron

[DPBurn]

Ouch, not good, some how this bolt got snapped, maybe a log hit the andiron with force, hopefully I can get the other Andiron bolt out in once piece an maybe there something to grab on to the broken bolt. Anyone here ever replace one of these Andirons, the bolts for these also fasten the glass retainer on the bottom.

I had to grind one of my bolt heads off to get the glass retainer off. I'm looking at restoring one i just got. Woodstocks manuals say this is common for these bolts to strip or break off. Did you have enough shank to grab with vice grips and get it out ?
