Well make sure you set all the EFI stuff aside for me.

A note on easy-outs. If the broken bolt isn't turning then you need to stop cranking on the easy-out before it breaks. Drill it out to a larger size and keep doing this until it relieves the tension between the bolt and whatever it's threaded in. Yeah, I know, too little too late, but maybe it'll help someone else.

just tried it, and the welds break out at the easy out. haha this sucks

Instead of welding a nut to it, try welding a washer to the broken bolt then weld a nut to the washer.

He has no torch access...

He just might need to get access! Maybe you could rent one, Scott?

Also get a set of left hand drill bits to go with your set of ez outs. Sometimes the broken bolt comes right out with the drilling action.

Use blaster or solvent then try the the reverse drill. Heat sometimes works. Consider drilling all the way out to the threads then try a tap to clean out the threads.
I would never use an Ezout again. Always had a bad experience with them.
