Now that i have finally got the bolt, then exctractor, and the drill bit out from the whole i am left with a slightly larger hole then before.
I have two options.......
Use a larger bolt and re tap the thread to a larger size or use a helicoil and use a bolt the same size.....
What do the group think about using helicoils??

Mark Solesbury tried to scribble ...
If there's room to cut a normal thread, and there's enough room for a larger bolt and nut etc, then that would be my preferred option. However, there's very little wrong with a Helicoil unit, providing it's done correctly .. ;)

can you get a longer bolt in, and a nut on the other side of the flange, as per a post I made in another thread about this? get a decent high tensile bolt and nut of the original size. Optionally, weld the nut to the axle casing flange, after fitting it.
