I will have to either drill them out or make a new boss.

Often it's easier to lay out three new holes on the same pitch circle as the existing ones, and just drill and tap them. 120� spacing is usual, but check this on your boss. Rover use US UNC/UNF threads on these bits.

Less mucking about than getting busted bolts out!

All three snapped off.
This is a very good idea to drill new holes on the same boss.
It will certainly save a lot off trouble.
Now to see if I've got one of those taps. Might just use 6mm.

I bet getting those bearings out will be a thrill too.
