Easy Out is a brand name for a tool which is like a drill bit. It has reverse threads on it. YOu drill a hole into the bolt (or whats left of the bolt after the head is broken), and the tap the Easy Out drill bit in until it is stuck on the broken bolt. Then twist it counter clockwise until it comes out. The reverse threads on the drill bit ensures that the bolt comes out as you "tighten" the drill bit.
