I broke the passenger side motor mount. All 3 bolts sheared off in the block. Other than what I'm already thinking, does anyone know of an easier way to get them out?

An EZ-OUT is going to be the best way, but you may get lucky enough to be able to just work the bolt out with a pick. That is if the threads are clean and there is not a burr on the broken bolt. Good luck.

I snapped the head off a bolt once and didn't have an easy out so what I did was took my dremel and cut a small slit in the bolt all the way across. Then I put a flat head bit in my drill and used it to back the bolt out. Worked great!

all these ideas work.

I have welded a nut to the pieces left and then just spin them out.
