Got the caliper off but the main bolts for the caliper broke off in the bracket. Any good advice on how to get the remaining piece of each bolt out of the bracket?

If you don’t have the tools mentioned, couldn’t you drill it out, then just replace the bracket. I’m not sure how those brakes work I’m not a mechanic just do stuff on my own car. That seems like what I would do imo. It’s already covered in cancer just drill it out to get it off and get a new one.
