Broken Bolt update

Thanks for all of the advice.
I never did get it out. I ended up just drilling it out and tapping to the next larger size bolt. It looks good and is functional.
I ran into an interesting phenomenom though. While tapping the aluminum for the new bolt, I sprayed the tap and the hole with silicon for lubrication and cutting ease. The silicon reacted with the heating aluminum. A bubbly black ooze came off the the aluminum. It smelled like an acid. I don't know what happened but I don't think it was good.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
