easy out is the way to go....... or if your good weld another slightly smaller bolt on top of it and use that to turn it out

Definitely go with some sort of extractor that's meant to pull out bolts, it will make the job 200x's easier for you. 5-10 min vs. 3-4 hours...

The easiest method is part replacement. It's simpler than it sounds. Simply replace all parts within a 25 ft. radius from the bolt. You don't have to replace parts that are only partially in the radius.

I got it out with a small drill bit and easy out.

I drilled a small hole in the stuck bolt. Used the easy out to grab on that shit and turn that motherfucker out of there.

It took like 15 minutes and alot of swearing..

Apparently you forgot to shut off swearing mode.

I always use a left handed drill bit (of the proper size) to drill out the broken bolt/stud before an easy-out is used. Most of the time the LH bit will back the broken bolt/stud out. Re-chase the thread and you are back in business. I found out that "Silikroil" works alot better than "PB Blaster" or any of the other sprays for loosening stubborn bolts, nuts, etc.
