Default 91 broken shock bolts

On a 91 siverado the shock was un hooked and dangling.I roll under and see one of the lower bolts are broken off of the shock. The other one is still intact but the shock still sliped out. So I put the torch to the one that is still in place. When I go to take it out it breaks in the lower A arm.

So here is the question. What is the trick to get these two bolts out? I am thinking that I am not the first guy to have this happen to.

Thanks for all the help.

Lots of PB Blaster on the bolts for a week prior to working on them.
If you have a acetylene torch you can heat the bolts to red hot and then let them cool down.
Anything less than red hot is worthless.
