I rarely have success with "Easy-Outs". I agree that the name is a marketer's figment of his imagination. On the rare occasions I have felt inclined to use them I generaly have to deal with the broken remains too. They do work pretty good on broken pipes though, just not bolts. If you think broken easy-outs are bad try broken taps or drills! On many occasions I have to try to undo the damage left by others. It can be challanging! I find my best friend is always the acetalyne torch. It generally is the best way to go. Especially on exhaust work. David Teitelbaum vin 10757 ong > with the remains of the brokem bolt itself.
