One last thought for others reading this thread, easy-out's are always at risk for this type of issue. They have their place, but I have gotten to the point, I just plain drill out broken bolts and re-thread.
There are a couple of other very effective ways to get broken bolts out, one is to weld a nut onto the protruding stub if it exists. The heat of the weld, and a new "purchase" on the bolt or stud often times works very well.
In any case, easy-out's should be used with extreme care. They are great when they are used correctly, and a real PITA when they break. 'nuff said.
