what to do about snapped bolts

I'll probably try some JB Weld since their page claims that it can be machined and that its like a cold weld. I haven't used it before but I guess there is nothing to lose at least
NOOO DO NOT USE JB WELD....when they say it can be machined they mean drilled and tapped (threadded) to take a bolt...but it will not take the torque of twisting a glued together bolt.....i fear it will get in the threads and make it harder to get the broken bolt out....can you take any pictures? i will ask a machinest to give me his ideas if i can't come up with one...
ok, good pictures, that helped, hard to see your angle but can you get to the broken bolt from behind? there may be a nutplate you can access...perhaps a bump, you would also see one for the good bolt that is still in
