I agree. I have never had much luck with easy outs and have broken them before as well. Basically, if the broken bolt is badly seized there is no way that an easy out is going to break the remaining part of the bolt loose. All of the other methods of removing a broken bolt that were mentioned will work with good success. I usually end up drilling the broken bolt out using a slightly smaller bit and then try to get the remaining fragments of the bolt threads out of the hole. Run a tap through the hole to clean up the original threads and then it's good to go. The trick is to be careful and precise with the drill.
I read once that a broken easy out can be removed by shattering it into small pieces with a sharp centre punch. I have never tried it-- has anyone else ever heard of this?
