Re: broke bolt off in head** help!!
i would use a screw extractor first. the screw extractor i use is a craftsman one very similar to this one:

i've used this tool 3 times and has worked everytime. it ain't perfect so it may not work. if that doesn't work you must drill it out.

Use a left handed drill bit, those are a lil better than EZ outs. Be careful not to break off either of those into the head as well, its made of forged steel, if you break one of those off into the head, you're SOL.
Worst case scenario is that you'd have to take off the head and take it to a machine shop, they can get it out for ya.

Best thing to do is to take it to a shop where someone knows what they're doing. Probably wont cost that much, and saves you from messing anything up.
