Broke the bolt / m180
You guys know the one, I'm calling it the ********* bolt, in the water pump for the little curved metal pipe that goes back to the engine. It's a hollow bolt with a passage for the coolant to get into the pipe's banjo end. Just the head twisted off of course, leaving the 4 little "prongs" sticking out a few mm's.
Any ideas for getting it out? I was considering a big EZ-out type thing since the hole's conveniently already drilled for me. The same bolt at the other end of the little pipe came out fine, probably because it's going into the engine instead of the alloy pump housing.

An ezy out should work. A left handed drill bit might work too after a good soaking in a loosening fluid of about any kind.
As a worst case you can drill it out assuming you have a well populated drill index.

weld??
How about welding a nut (or short bolt) onto it? Is it sticking out enough?
