I was almost afraid to look with your title to the thread.:o

Anyhow, Is it the threaded end of the bolt that is stuck in the frame? hard to tell from the photo.

If it is you can buy bolt extractor bits from the hardware store. They look like reverse thread drill bits. I would first shoot it with some good penetrating spray like PB blaster. WD-40 would work too. Then use the extractor to remove the bolt.

Should be pretty easy to get out with an "Easy out." You just drill a hole in the middle of the bolt and insert the extractor tool. Its like required equipment for me, I end up breaking all kinds of bolts
