Default Wheelbarrow wheel bearing bolts removal

I've been given a builder's barrow in good condition that has lost one
of the wheel shaft bearings - the sort that are bolted onto the frame
with two coach bolts. I took it on the basis that I reckoned on
recycling the bush (or bushes and wheel) from an existing clapped out
barrow.

Anyone any ideas on how to remove the bolts as being coach bolts the
heads are rounded and there's no way of gripping them ? And before
anyone else suggests it - yes, I could just cut them off with the
angle grinder !! :)



1) Just possible but they are probably too tight (or rusted) - Use hacksaw
to cut slots and the use large screwdriver.
or
2) Get one of those reverse thread bolt extractors like this

then drill into the head and extract the bolt.
