Just thought I would give this tip, Im constanty removing broken bolts/studs from equipement, and ive found the 9 out of ten times, if i cant get the broken stud out by drilling a pilot hole with a left hand drill bit, and going a couple sizes bigger, with another left hand drill bit, theres little to no chance an eazy out will back it out either.
And If you break the easy out into the stud, them your really infor alot of work. Ill just keep stepping up the size of the left hand bit until it grabs the bolt and backs it out. if it wont come out due to Gualding, i stop at the size bit required to retap the hole, and just retap it, or take a dental pick and work what left of the treads out of the "nut"
We have a 64 Pc set of left hand drill from 1/16 to 1/2" and they are worth their wieght in gold.
I also belive the eazy outs, tend to expand the broken stud making it tighter yet to extract.
Just a tip.
