With some trepidation in reviving an old thread ... first I want to say thank you to all those above who posted suggestions.

The purpose of this post is to add my 2 cents for the benefit of others in the future who may Google and find this thread.

First, what DID NOT work for me is the following screw extractor. The extractor broke - not near man enough for the job.



What DID work for me is the following extractor with a 1/2" drive 18" long breaker bar and socket. Bought the package of 5 extractors for $9.99 at Princess Auto. I had to drill out the center of the bolt to make the hole deep enough for the extractor to engage.



Lastly, another tip that I gleaned from the interweb is using a skewer to keep the bottom bracket tool engaged leaving both hands free to apply the brute force needed to loosen it.
