Kevin,
Forget the Easy-outs. If the bolt is really stuck, you're most likely to end
up with part of the hardened steel Easy-out broken off in the hole you drilled
in the broken off bolt. Then you are really in a pickle. Been there. Done
that.
Best bet for a bolt or stud broken off flush is to carefully drill out the bolt
and retap. If you use progressively larger drills, you can gradually correct
any off-centeredness. Last drill should be the correct size for the tap. BE
CAREFUL WITH SMALL DRILL BITS. You can also break them off in the hole. Been
there. Done that.
Good luck,
