I'm 99% sure that snap on easy outs are the same ones that you buy from Irwin @1/4 the price
i agree, they hardly ever work. even though its turning back wards, its also forcing outward swelling the bolt shank.
I got extractor sets of 4 different designs. Each design has situations where it may work better than another design.
I was hoping Steve would post pics of the sheared bolts so I might be able to give some advice.

Working on a dodge
I don’t like using easy outs, unless I can drill a hole straight through so I can hit the easy out back through if and when it snaps.
I prefer tig welding a nut on the broked bolt. Generally the heat from welding will help loosen things up.

LH drill bits have worked the best for me. Welding a bolt or nut onto the stub like 9.33FR sez works well too if'n there's enough sticking out (giggidy) to work with.
For removing buggered hex drive oil galley/steam passage plugs in iron engine blocks, a shop instructor taught me (decades ago) to heat the offending plug and surrounding block wif an oxy/ace torch and then squirt the inside of the plug (what's left of the hex pocket) with water from a spray bottle.
The plug'll shrink and pull away from the block threads enough to break loose. Sometimes takes a repeat or two, but it has always worked for me. I have my drill sporting the appropriate sized LH twist bit standing by so I can give 'er a twist right after the spritz (he he) to spin the plug out before the block warms it back up. YMMV.....

Did you have a smoke after typing that?

I'm hoping to put the newer loader to work this winter pushing snow.
I've been working on getting all the lights working on it. These German built loaders have all the lights of an on-road vehicle would have. I was told that in Europe, they often drive to the job site. All the light fixtures are Italian made Cobo brand. I can't find replacements or parts in the U.S.. I flipped the headlight lenses over cause they had broken adjusters on one side.
I bought a chicom HID headlight kit. The seller just raised his price by $10
I bought some LED work lights too.
The headlight switch doesn't work. It is some weird Euro brand I can't find anywhere at a reasonable price. It is much like an automotive, combined with the turn signal and horn.
I ran a new power source from a "reserve" fuse in the fuse block to a new rocker switch on the dashboard.

If the HID's give me trouble, I'll try those. The technology and prices seem to be changing fast. I should've dun moar research. It seems the LEDs have eclipsed the HIDs
After driving my sxs with the Beamtechs my car was like driving with the parking lights on. On the sxs I don't need a light bar with these headlights.
