The EZ out is a taper, which is screwing itself into the bolt as you use it, meaning the harder you twist, the harder it goes in, expanding the bolt which will lock it into the hole harder.
Just my opinion, but I have snapped a few and had to oxy torch them out (bloody difficult with an ally part you don't want to melt).

I read the same thing when doing a search for them. It Would seem it can be hit and miss between an easy job and a fg bch of a job.
I still think I'll give the extractor a go though. The bolts were copper greased so I think it wouldn't take that much purchase to coax them out. If it gives me the impression they are not going to come out easily, I'll revert back to drilling them out.
