There is a tool called "Broken Pin Extractor". It is a reverse threaded
cup which fit over the pin, a tuning hammer turns the extractor 
and\the threads grip the pin.
Or drive them trough the block if possible, drill a hole in the 
support block for the pin to discharge.

Do not reuse the old, weakened pins. More will break. The holes are 
now enlarged
from their removal as well.  Replace with larger diameter pins.
