Did they snap off flush, flat & level or slanted? Helicoils are easy enough to fit, getting the old bolt out is the hard bit... should be easy enough with an easy-out now that the head is gone & the tension is off the threads?

No they snapped about 2mm inside the thread,ill try Lightning Services,i think being bolts for holding the disc to the wheel i think the problem is Loctite being on the thread plus rubbish metal the bolts are made of.
