I had a lot of help from a very clever chap. He said that because I snapped it on the doup rather than undo (no rust connection to worry about) and at very low torque, that it would come out fine with ez out.
He centre drilled me the old bolt to use as a guide and there was just enough exposed thread for it to catch.

I had a bolt from other barrels to work out how much depth there was to drill without causing more headaches and then it came out very easily with EZ out.....and became a fountain.
Jobs a carrot!

I like a happy ending. Good idea using the old bolt head as a guide.
