I hate ez outs, I've had too many break off in the bolt and then you're really screwed. Have a welder tack a nut onto the broken bolt and then simply unscrew the bolt. The heat from the weld also usually loosens the bolt...

For a higher dollar part that is off the car the machine shop is your friend.
And while I am thinking of it get some cans of Kroil. It really is the best penetrant that I have seen. Use beforehand helps a lot and can help now.
If it is flusuh at the frame, and if you can get a bite on it or a hole in it then Kroil and set, and then heat, and then your left hand out you got a chance. But use a real drill with some torque. Or even a hammer drill while you are in reverse to help dislodge the stuff. Most of the cordless drills just dont have the power.
