Did you break off the head or a nut end? If it is the head the remaining part is likely stuck in a threaded hole or some type of nut fastened insid. Approach this by the standred methond of drilling a small hole in the center and using easy outs. It doesn't hurt to drill out with encreasing larger bits untill very little meat is left. If you broke off a nut end then it will work better to remove the upholestry so you can work it from the inside. Work the upholstery from the corner closest to the bolt so you don't have to totally remove it.

I've got a broken chair here. Made of metal. One of the bolts holding the back of the chair to the frame broke off, leaving a small portion of the end of the bolt in the hole. It doesn't stick out, so I can't get a grip on it. Any suggestions on getting this little piece out so I can fit a new bolt in?
