If a right angle drill is what you need to remove the broken tensioner bolt, then why not go buy one. When drilling the hole for the EZ-out extractor, use a left hand bit in a reversible drill; sometimes the bolt will back out while drilling. Before drilling, try backing the broken bolt out with a center punch and hammer; hold the center punch at a 45 degree angle to the bolt and off-center so the force from the hammer blow is trying to turn the bolt out.
