I hate easy outs never once got them to work as they expand the bolt they are extracting which you don't want to do and a guy at work snapped one in the same situation you are in and then you can't drill the hardened easyout then it was a head off job
I would try the torx method if I where you

Sorted thanks
That was an easy fix although I could only get it to about 1100 rpm on the tachometer and the adjuster was spongey didn't want to push it invade I snapped it I soaked it with wd40 but that's as far as I can get
