The EZ out is for unscrewing a threaded connection, I've spent a bunch of time with those only to have the EZ out break off in there too. Then you've got a real mess of hardened tool steel.

I would first drill several small 1/8" holes in the lead around the circumference of the bolt. Then, I think tapping or pressing it out is the way. The wheel puller would probably work. You'll end up with an enlarged hole that you can either use a bigger bolt, or washers to deal with.

I agree some of the hardware that comes with cheaper L 16s, is inferior. I've had plenty of those square heads come off with minimal torque.

Yup, id pre-drill and use an ez-out, or use a flaring tool as a small press and drive it out.

    Greetings,

    Do any of you battery gurus have a suggestion for a method of
removing a bolt remnant that is corroded into a flag terminal. Both sides snapped off flush with the flag. I was thinking try to
    drill it out or maybe a small gear pulling tool?  I will never
    again use the non stainless hardware supplied by the manufacturer...

    Picture attached for reference.

    Thanks!
