Saw this on the www and reading on here that this is sometimes a problem here is a "how to" that may be helpful:

I don't have half the kit to facilitate that but what a satisfying watch!

Pleased you enjoyed that.
I particularly liked the use of the woodworking hinge centring drill. They cost a £5 + on eBay and £11 in screwfix so not out of the question.

All that stuff he used costs not a lot, under a tenner for easy outs and drill bits you just need an electric drill and some balls.
Good video I liked his drilling though the bolt to centre your bit but I just drill though the broken stud its just the same.
What I find though is you dont hardly ever get a broken bolt in a recessed hole, it usually breaks off flush.
