If you can soak the part in waste oil overnight, its the easiest route to a successful extraction.

stubborn broken bolts in small parts such as turbine housings and exhaust manifolds - submerge in waste oil and then have at it the following day.

who mentioned E-Z outs? those things should be illegal! especially the fluted style, they wedge the broken fastener in the hole harder. If you must use an easy out (spark plug extraction) the straight flute variety works well.
