A little update here.
Got the extractor in nice and tight.
as I attempted to reverse it out.......
SNAP, broken extractor.
Big breath, close the hood, walk in the house grab a beer.
The adventure continues.............
BTDT, I hate extractors for the above reason. I have found that a 2 or 3.00 carbide tipper masonry bit will drill the hardened extractor. No kidding. Found the idea somewhere online and it works. I usually buy 3 or 4 bits, sometimes small and work my way up, center the bit as best as possible, Approach with extreme caution and VIOLA, retap or helicoil.
