Ram, as stated above, since they were just sheared off and not cross threaded and broken, they will generally back out pretty easy. You can try using a sharp pick to grab the outside of the bolt and see if it will spin out (a lot times they will), if that doesn't work try a left hand drill bit, start with a larger sized bit you can exert good pressure on without breaking and slowly spin it (the object is to get it to grab quickly and spin the threads out not to actually drill away material). If it doesn't want to move switch to a small bit and begin the drilling process to enable using the ease out. I would recommend center punching the bolt before beginning any drilling.

If the pick makes the bolt move but you can get a good grip, clean the head with brake or carb cleaner, and crazy glue or super glue a cut toothpick or something solid to it that will give you better hold or leverage.

How about something like this?



I haven't needed to use them yet but Leah gave them to me as a stocking stuffer so I'm sure they're inexpensive.

Those might work if you drilled a hole to start like and ez-out. They are intended for screws with a striped head still attached. Worth keeping around, that or a dremel/small cutoff wheel to make your own common heads (flat blade)

REALLY IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE DRILLING INTO THE END OF A BOLT!! GET IT IN THE CENTER!!

uses a center punch/square ez-out with a pointed tip to dimple the center of the bolt. Use a dremel or other grinder/file to flatten/level the visible portion of the bolt/screw for the best result. If you drill one of center and end up having to drill it out it will get messy. Taking the time to center it will save you time and effort should it be really stuck.

Makes sense, so it has something better to grab on to.

a chisel and vise grips. One of them was quite stubborn but a little heat from a torch and it came right on out.
