Can u get a set of vice grips on it and get it out? I dont like easy outs as they make snapped off bolt expand in the hole, makin it harder to get out. U mite hav to drill it out and retap a thread or use a helicoil.
extrators will buckle and leak if all of the bolts are holding it on.

If you do end up having to drill it there are mobile guys that specialise in this. Bonus is that if it need recoiling they are there on the spot and you don't have to go through that trauma as well.

why not just drill it out just smaller than the rite size, then with a tap and die set get a tap and recut the thread. no 'guy' needed and 50 bucks on a call out saved lol

Man, you guys who hate easyouts, wtf?
I've used the many times.
Do it properly, and all it is is the same as unscrewing the bolt.
The only time it doesn't work properly, is when you have installed a bolt that is too long into a hole, or the bolt is well rusted.

Overtightening is a major cause of snappage too
