Just like a redneck "Put a fire under it Billybob at'll git it out!"
Just kidding!!!
If the remnants are wood then either speedbore them out or burn them out
with a propane torch. If you want to torch them out drill a hole into the
remnant and screw in a long carriage bolt now torch the surrounding metal.
It will carbonize enough of the wood so that it acts as a lubricant. Grab
the toggle bolt with vice grips and pull it out.
Same holds true for fiberglass cept fiberglass melts.

Subject: Re: [MV] How to unplug ...? M35 fun
I've encountered this problem many times. My solution in
dealing with broken wood uprights is to remove the pocket,
build a fire in a 55-gallon drum (one end chiseled out)
and lay the pockets over the fire. After a while and
allowing them to cool, the stakes can be driven out. It
does not have to be a big fire as you don't want to warp
the stake pockets.
