Just curious. Do you use a left handed drill bit? I find that with a broken bolt, 9 times out of ten the remaining bolt comes out if I use them. Saves tapping at least.

s lack Yes I have left hand threaded easy outs but in this instance they didn't work and I had to resort to drilling and tapping.
