Hmmm..well there's a little truth to what you all have said but..easy outs have helped me out a good many times, not the spiral easy outs but the square shafted ones, I have had the best success with them. As one before me mentioned, it is imperative to center punch and drill in the dead center of the broken piece..if you aren't centered you will most likely break the easy out. Yes, a rusted stud over torqued 60 year old application needs heat and cold water. Once we had to change plugs on a car in the shop and every plug broke off. We heated each plug stub with the brazing tip until it glowed , then doused it with a garden hose. We used square shafts and easily removed all 8 broken off plugs. We blew air into the cylinders to get all the water out, installed new plugs and had the car(Grand National) running like new. Broken studs are the hardest test and as most of you with skinned knuckles know, easy outs are just another tool in the tool box. As for a broken off easy out, I saw a machinist drill one out with a special bit he had, and he did drill it out before my eyes with not a lot of difficulty. I hope our friend can get the broken easy out out of his block...square shaft fan..Mike in Exeter Ontario
