They have drill bits that will work for this. I'ts like a reverse screw that digs in and then starts to turn it out. look them up.

You could try using heat and heating the bolt and using vice grips to un screw the rest of the broken bolt.

Only other thing i could tell you to do is grab a air hammer bust off that welded on nut and run a lock washer with a new nut or re-weld on another nut.

after you drill a hole i thought you were supposed to hammer the easyout in.

it depends on what kind of easyout you are using there are different types.

the only other option is see if there is a nut on the other side and cut it off somehow, if not then you will have to buy a tap and drill the hole in the center of the bolt using the correct size drill which is found on a tap/drill chart
