   get a kit of ebay, I did and its been fine. You'll need to drill the bolt to make a pilot hole then use the extractor. While you are there get a titanium drill bit as these bolts are hard fuckers

   mine was a right c-unit to get out, snapped extractor set so acquired a carbide drill bit which went through it like butter and tapped it out to m10 iirc.

   no i got it from work. no they are masonry bits, solid carbide bits are what you want.. like these:
   jobber length

   stub length
   http://www.phantomdrills.co.uk/ShowP...aspx?CatID=513
   
   pretty expensive but will do the job, just pick the right size.

    I had to do exact same thing I can't remember the exact size bit I used I just went to my dads got the smallest drill bit possible and widened a couple sizes until the extractor kit went in. When you drill it use slow speed high torque setting and do short little bursts or the bit will snap. Think it took about 20 mins to do.
