they make them all different sizes, I'm sure one of the smaller ones will fit.. they sell a five pack at sears that has one that will fit that screw

for my diff i had to cut a grove in the screw with a dremel, use a torch to heat it up then i dunked it in water.. then used a flat head to slowly get it out...

Easy outs are great, theyve got me out of trouble a few times, also for larger screws that the heads have been snapped off and left the screw stuck in flush you can centre punch then drill into the broken bolt and use an easy out to remove it, doesnt really apply to smaller screws though.

Awesome Tut.. I had to use easy outs on my Camaro Z28's header bolt when it broke.. Man did that suck.
