Default Broken bolt on Bendix Spring

Just went to help with a truck that wouldn't start. 1929 Ford that had been out to a show and when the party that was showing it wanted to take it home, it wouldn't start. Knowing nothing of the circumstances surrounding the failure to start I went to the trucks location, indoor storage, and after checking all the fluid levels and a thorough visual, a friend and I decided to give starting it a try. We checked the lights and they had come on brightly so we were assuming the battery is fairly well charged. We first cranked it over by hand to make sure the engine turns. It has good compression but turned over a few revolutions so we tried with the starter. Starter spun with some growling noise but not moving the crankshaft so we pulled the starter. Bolt is broken so we took it home and replaced the whole Bendix drive and spring. Now the real problem, getting the old broken bolt back out of the flywheel cover. How is the best way to do that and what harm in leaving it in its resting place, wherever that might be?
