Default Broken Transmission Bolt

Hi guys. Well im currently in the process of putting on a RE4.5'' superflex kit on and was in the process of switching out my none sye's t-case for an already sye's t-case when I ran into a problem. I snapped off one of the two bolts that hold the transmission/t-case bushing onto the tranny. I figured, id use an easy out and remove the bolt that way but no. The easy out decided to snap off flush with the snapped of bolt that im trying to remove. Any ideas on what to do next? i was going to drill it out but the easy out it obviously a really hard metal. Any ideas would be great. Im doing this to a 1999 sport, on gravel, in my driveway. Thanks again

Seams to me drilling it out is about your only option. Your right that easey out will not be easy to drill. You will need a cobalt drill and not just cobalt coated. Boy talk about a pia, good luck.

get a carbide drill bit,they cost about $15-$20 but well worth it. I had the same problem not long ago and it was the only thing that would touch it.
