theres a mobile service called captain thread. he comes to you.

call him he works magic!

heres the number 0407 077 414.

i found using a blowtorch to heat the bolt is the best way

Never, ever, ever use Ezy Outs!

Always drill studs & bolts out, you can't drill Ezy Outs unfortunately.

Now you'll have to try using a pin punch (and be very patient) if you can't grip it.

We used to get this situation almost daily at Adelaide Engine.....bit of heat may also help if pin punch doesn't.

correct.....you can't drill Ezy Outs....ever tried to drill out a broken drill bit.....same thing, very hard material.

I've heard that people have blown them out with oxy then fitted a hellicoil

yep did this every day lol

ezy outs and drills are made from hardened steel. Dont try drill it out as youll just blunt your next drill.

Best thing to do is drill it out, retap if possible or add helicoil.

You can drill out easy outs, taps, drills and anything hard like high speed steel etc. You use what is called a "hard cut drill" or if yor if you have old carbide cutters around you can use one of them to get it out.
