[quote=Edchris177]Get some advice from a good machine shop. The problem you now have is 10 times worse than what you started with.
The easy out snapped because they are brittle, meaning hardened steel, way harder than the screw you were originally trying to back out. It is very difficult, using a hand held drill, to drill the easy out. The bit is going to want to wander off to the softer metal surrounding the easy out.
You might have to remove the entire fitting, then file the stump square & turn it with vice grips.
Those screws that may be corroded in place are generally easier to drill at nearly the full diameter of the screw shank, then run a tap through the hole, cutting new threads through any corrosion. The remains of the old screw will generally come out as you cut.[/quote]
