damn man thaat sucks, drill out the easy out, and get a craftmans easy out, lifetime warranty, good luck i hope it works, i broke a torque arm on a trans am, and the bolt broke off in the rear end, it took 6 hours of messing with it with an easy out, finally my friend got under the lift, and twisted it out by FINGERS, we know call him mighty fingers!, i hope its that easy!, good luck man
center punch center punch...
you have to start drilling in the center of the bolt.. start off with a smaller drill bit and go bigger..
also use a propane torch to heat up the area around it when using the ez-out..
with broken off bolts you have to take your time and do it right the first time..

that sucks! nothing worse than trying to fix something and making it worse, sorry. This just happened on my billetware frame on the bracket that attaches the motor to the frame. Start with the small drill, and step it up on the drill size like 3 times until I break the drill bit off in the hole (f**k). I was lucky and was able to punch it out although I broke off the nut that was welded into the unaccessible little pocket in the frame... now I have 1 long through bolt. Good luck and have patience.
