Look and read. He did drill the bolt. He did use an easy out. He broke it off. You can see the stub in the picture. However, a stick welder is not the right tool.

Try hitting the easy out stub with a center punch. That may be what you implied. Once the stub is broken, drill bigger. Do you have a propane torch? I like Mapp gas myself. Heat that bad boy up! If you must weld a std onto the bolt, use a MIG or better, a TIG. Good luck.
