broken bolt in thrust bearing

I broke off a bolt in a Rohn TB3 thrust bearing. It broke off even with the
edge of the flange on the bearing. Is there a good way to get this out while
it's up on the tower, or am I going to be forced to take it down to replace
the bolt?
I'd appreciate any suggestions...

BTW - what size bolts are they anyway? I need to replace all of them because
the ones Rohn supplies are not galvanized or stainless, and they rust
quickly...

Thanks - Will
