yes randy that works to. i do this on oil pan bolts 1/4 to 5/16 bigger stuff i use a ez out or get dead nuts up on it in the mill and drill it all out and just hook the threads out or clean out with a tap .if he has or knows someone with a tig thats what i use. if not busted in to deep in the hole. then heat it up and use wax on it let it wick it thru if that will not work get out the TNT
