A tractor restorer from my club came over today, looked at the tap and said "that should be easy". Took a thin chisel he brought, and proceeded to pound the heck out of it. Broke it apart in less than 5 minutes.
Now the hole is clear and clean. I need to get a new tap, and this time do it slower. Then put in the stud, then I'll be back in business.
Ok, so... tips I've learned:
Go slow with the tap. Quarter turn, back it out, clean it. Back in, cut a quarter turn, back it out, clean it.
