Depends where the easy out breaks, If you are lucky and the shank shatters above the bolt like happened to me. I got a nut put it over the easy out shank and mig welded the center of the nut to the shank, while everything was still hot I squirted some oil down onto the threads.... Let it cool down but not stone cold, wound it back and forth a bit and just slowly backed it out, going backwards and forwards. Bit of a jaw clencher, but I got there in the end. Finished off by tapping to clean up the threads.

i was taking to denny last night and told him that i wanted to pull all my post and photos down . i did tell him i was not going to post any more but for you southerner i will. no i still have may first set of e-z outs need some new ones. yes i have busted taps off .but if you have fix them you do not break as many. i trash taps when they go dull . i fix alot of other screw ups from others . the new cars with alum heads here in mich the EX studs rust up and i need to get EX heads studs out i mount off the stud hole to mill the heads so i fix them . so i can mill them
