Front end link bracket bolts

Long story short, I was attempting to take off the front sway bar end link bracket, where it attaches to the LCA. Both bolts broke off in the control arm

I'll either drill them out and tap, or try easy out, but does anybody know what size bolts are used to hold that bracket onto the LCA?


Not my pic, but just for reference, that bracket with the two bolts.

Just to follow up, since I couldn't remove the LCA without major surgery, I drilled out the studs that were stuck in the control arm from the bottom, went a bit bigger, and instead of tapping the LCA, which might lead to stuck bolts again, I went with some larger bolts, and lock nuts.

This way, nothing is threaded into the LCA, if the nut/bolt breaks ever again, it'll just slide out of the control arm.
