!*&@@@! Broke the ground bolt on my alternator.

For future reference, what is the procedure for removing them. I have heard of heating them with a torch but have no idea how, getting some sort of kit from harbor freight but I don't understand that at all, and drilling them out which I have always assumed means to actually drill the center of the stuck bolt until it is able to be removed. I am prob about to tackle a couple of HG and I have a feeling this info would come in handy... Not trying to highjack but any help would be appreciated.

I don't think there was anything that I could have done differently.
As soon as I started to turn the wrench, out it came.
It's not really a bolt so much as a brass plug soldered in some way to the interior the rectifier.
I suspect that it had been almost completely broken by an installer who overtightened it. All it took was a little pressure and it fractured the rest of the way.
