Whatever you do, DONT use an ezyout. If it breaks in there you'll be in far worse trouble.

Ezyout is hardened (tungsten I think) which is strong but brittle. That means they snap very easily when torqued but are impossible to drill out. There is also a real art to choosing size etc etc.

Take it to the machine shop and see if they'll show you how its done. They have the tools and expertise to do it right.

thats exactly why i recommended against it. when my bolt snapped i tried to use an extractor, and yes, it snapped.
you really dont want this to happen...
