I've got them out (the backwards spiral ones) by heating them red with a torch then using a punch and backing them out..... Not a fun or gauranteed job tho....
I "discovered" by accident one day in a last ditch effort before stripping hummer down to take it and have the bolt remover or head replaced a fast and effective way of removing bolts and broken extractors (if there is a little bolt left around them) from a big chunk of cast...
Using a cutting torch to heat the bolt/broken extractor up red, it (the bolt)started to melt. Moving the torch back a little, I accidentally bumped the air lever. Sparks flew and I thought I screwed sumpin up.... Looked real close at the head around the hole and there was no damage except some of the bolt was gone and I didn't see the extractor... Decided to try again and found my special purpose for the next 2 years I was assigned there.....
I found that, if I got them hot enough to melt real fast, I could blow the bolt out without hurting the cast. Just had to run a tap in afterwards and clean the threads... I had a real high success rate... Had to drill/retap and use a bigger bolt a couple of times, but no more stripping vehicles and replacing heads for a broken mount bolt...
Common sense applies and so you gotta use it when it comes to safety and not damaging your equipment, but I could see it working in your case pretty slick...
BTW... If you have the backward spiral easyouts, throw them away (or give em to someone you dont like) and get a set of the splined tap in ones.....
Good luck...
Dave

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
