Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'm just trying to save you some time and money here. Trust me, I've been down this road. The fact that you're asking what type of bit to use to extract a broken bolt leads me to believe you've never done this before. There is no quicker way to fuck up something even worse than it is, than trying to remove a broken bolt with a bit and little experience. Take off the head and take it to a machine shop. It'll be $40 tops to have a professional remove it.

Drilled it and it was a success. Was not that hard to do. Just wanted to know what material bit to use. Dont need to be a professional to do this or a machine shop.
