bolt extractor success - now what?!
So the PO stripped the inspection cover bolts on my sporty. PITA but no biggy. Once I found a good drill, I used an easy-out and viola. BUT now my question is how do I get the broken bolt OFF of the extractor? I wouldn't care so much, but I used my 5/32" allen bit to get the second one out and I'd rather not have to trash that bit because it has a broken bolt stuck on it. HELP?

+1 on the vice and reverse turn which in your case is clockwise. Also, when you really have something stuck, laying it horizontally and hitting the bolt with a hammer so you are striking it 90 degrees to the bolt/extractor may snap it loose. Hit the bolt right where the extractor is stuck in it - it flexes the metal of the outside object. This works wonders for things stuck in sockets as well.
