I have some and have to say....I have never mangaged to remove anything with them yet!
Note, they are cheaper on ebay! :y
Note also that I always try all the other methods first i'e' chisel and hammer etc.

You will have to take the sump off and drill it out. I had the same problem and tried everything including a bit of heat!

A bit iffy with a tank full of oil sat round it!
If it wont shift with a hammer and chisel then the irwn bolt extractors wont work.

my sarcasm was wasted as usual ::)
seriously i'd considered buying some - did have some stud extractors years ago (drill bolt/stud then basicly a revers tap to unwind) they all snapped over the years though :'(

I left the ball in his court with it really as i didn't want to keep trying to remove it and knacker it altogether.Had a text from him tonight and he's told me that he's had a nut welded to it,unsure whether that will work or not,i'll let you know tomorrow :-/

Should have tried to remove it as soon as the nut was welded on as the heat from the welding would have helped, its a method I have used a few times at work in the past with success.
