Thanks for the directions Joel. I have never seen such good detail on how to get broken bolts out. It will definitely give me something to do for awhile so I better get started. Thanks.

No, I haven't had time to touch it this week at all. No real plans for the weekend other than work on it so should be able to get it done. I will post results. Thanks for asking.
This may not be possible, but depending on if your clear of flammable parts a good hot torch will help break the bolt loose. I've even welded a tit on the stud and turned it with vise grips. Being at the surface of the block or up inside that may not be possible. As the guy's said be real careful not to break an easy out up in there. Been there. REAL UGLY!! You can do it!!! Terry
I'm going to get started on it tomorrow AM with an arsenal of stuff to try. I am going to be especially careful with the easy out since I don't want to break that off. Although, I've been telling the better half that if I can't get this bolt out I'll have to get a ZZ4. I don't think she's buying it though.
Life is Good!
