a:....tac weld a nut to the top of them and use a wrech

b:...take a grinder and cut a slit in the top to make it look like a flat head screwdriver slot then hope it comes loose...

i would use option a...

Hmm that looks a good route.. if all else fails..

So easy out ended up breaking inside the rocker shaft.... this looks like some bad news I have had no luck at all.. At this point should i replace the head?

nftuatn

i could have told you that would happen...even snap-on ones will break...

did it break off in the bolt? after you drilled it?

kadafiz

ya man it broke deep in..

pics?

what I would have done in the first place is use a 3/8 extention with ratchet to try to get it to bite

My idea if you are still stumped: (hope not)

Dont know what type of angle you have on it, but maybe notch the outside edge like this "v" and outside edge, place a flat head or punch on the "v" you made and try to tap it with a hammer in the direction you are trying to turn it. sounds wierd, but I have done it before. But it is hard to see the room you have to work with around that particular piece.
