Default Broken Bolt

Here is the are where the bolt is broken off. I can't get a pair of vice grips or anything since it broke off under.



Here are the bolt extractors I bought.



Not sure if this will work fine or if it'll make the problem even worse. Just looking for suggestions before I dive in head first.

Maybe someone here has a kit they use that wouldn't mind helping me out >.> ; I could pay you in beer or pizza lol.

What you picture are a set of easy outs, but Daworm is right about the patience. What you need to do is to drill a hole in the center of the bolt and tap one of those easy outs in and try and reverse the bolt out. Be very careful as I have had a long time ago a easy out break inside the bolt and that is a real issue as they are hardened.

What you pictured you might try and take a dremel and put a slot into the head of the bolt as well and then use a impact driver to loosen it up enough to back out. I would soak it first in penetrating oils either way.

good luck
