I've use a similar trick to remove broken exhaust manifold bolts from heads on cars. Weld a nut to the broken bolt and use a wrench on it.I don't have the best of records using ez outs. IMO the easiest fix would be to just replace the clutch bell/
But, to answer the OP's question, I would either MIG or TIG weld a flat washer that is one size smaller than the original bolt. Be sure to just tack weld the washer to the broken bolt. The washer is used to prevent welding the washer and/or the broken bolt to the clutch bell. Just make enough tack welds to create a nub large enough to bite down with a pair of vice grips. I would also suggest welding with the clutch bell removed from carrier and bearings. It usually takes a few tries to successfully removing the broken bolt. Once extracted, just clean up the surfaces with a file.
Good answer here , completely forgot about this method , and you are certainly correct that being a small bolt an easy-out might not be the best way.I've use a similar trick to remove broken exhaust manifold bolts from heads on cars. Weld a nut to the broken bolt and use a wrench on it.
