Default Screw extractor question

I recently put in Del Sol Seats into my 99 coupe. However, when I was first installing it, I was turning the socket wrench the wrong way and torqued it so much that the bolt head broke off. However, once i figured out i was turning the wrong way, I switched the seats just fine.

However, I still got to take care of this bolt, because only 3 of the 4 bolts holding the passenger side is in. I bought a screw extractor from home depot but didnt realized it didnt come with instructions. I know im suppose to drill the screw extractor into the broken bolt's center by a drill, but I'm unsure of what's next.

do I just turn the drill the other way and try to drill it out?

thanks guys

good instructions. I ended up not having to use the screw extractor because it wouldnt go in even though i drilled the hole. So i just use a small drill head to drill a small hole, then moved onto a bigger size so the drill head will attached to the drill. Then I just reversed the drill, and everything is groovy. Thanks though

another way i found that works, is to get a welder and just keep building up the weld, then tack a nut on it. and unscrew it. You would have to get like canvas or something so it doesn't spider and burn your carpet
