I wanted to apply a consistent amount of torque continuously with the extractor on. I was worried that with an impact gun, the extractor would bite through the thin wall on the bolt and I would be further screwed.

I hammered the extractor on with a mini-sledge and with a decent sized breaker bar (think I said pry above), the bolt came right out.

I've attached an image of what I was left with.
