So can't even knock a socket on it now, any ideas.I'm thinking maybe lots of drilling and a chisle.

it was really tight, had an 18" long wrench on the lock key and was giving it some serious leverage before it snapped. Doubt pliers would shift it.

fixed today for a tenner. a back street tyre bay hammered on a socket on the remaining bit of bolt. a 2 foot breaker bar eased it off.
Thanks for the replies. Result!!
