No effing way! I did the same thing today I have never seen another thread on this before, then it pops up on the day i do it.
I Turned the bolt a quarter turn and it was broken. Didnt even warn me that it was gonne break.
Easy outs are hit and miss. Hit, they do their job and get it out. Miss, well then you have a hardened bit that you will need to drill through before tapping the hole.
yours looks like you can get vicegrips on it. Soak it in a bunch of pb blaster, then you should be able to work it out.
Mine on the other hand is flush, i will be drilling and tapping it.

if you have a welder and a torch... heat up the broken bolt real nice, soak with pb blaster, heat up, then soak, weld onto that bolt enough material to get some vice grips on and carefully wiggle it out. I've done it many times for the thermostate bolts and for exhast manifold bolts.

I planned on trying some vice grips, and a bottle of PB blaster I had. I guess I'll hit it a few times over the weekend to really let it soak in.
Never heard of crc336. Seafoam I have, but not for this application. What has worked best for you?

I do have a small flux core welder I could use. I guess I'll soak it in PB for a few days, and see what I can do with vice grips before I try this. Sounds like a perfect way to get it out though.

I had been trying to resolve a heating issue when this happened. So after I snapped this bolt I just put my away, and called it a day.

These bolts break all the time.
When I get a new to me 22rec I just try to remove the bolts without breaking 50/50 chance then use the thread replacement of choice new bolts well coated with never seize .
I have used all kinds of penetrating oils and have settled on Aero kroil I have used the vise grip method and I have drilled them out. i really don`t seem to have good luck with easy outs so I pretty much gave up on them

I use the weld a nut method on the broken stud, and it works for me every time. Also, try hitting it with a decent size hammer first. I have had bolts seize, in aluminum mainly, and a few blows from the hammer seems to unstick the threads and head from the hole.
good luck

Well I went at it a few times with the needle nosed vice-grips with no luck. I didn't want to try too many times because I'm starting to really destroy what is left. I figure I'll get it soak with more PB. Hopefully I moved it just enough to allow more if it to soak in.
I'll try the candle wax idea, and even give it a few good whacks. I'm hoping I don't have to weld a bolt on it, or re-thread it.
