Weld a nut onto the end of the cone screw. The heat should help break whatever bonds are holding the screw in place, and the nut gives you an easy place to put a wrench so you can turn it out.
I would not try the easy-out first; those things are brittle and very very very hard. It is relatively common to break an easy-out, and very difficult to drill the easy-out once that happens. --DD |
