Here's a question to the group: Has anyone *ever* had success with an "easy-out"???? I ask that with tongue in cheek, of course. In fact, I HAVE occasionally had success with them, but it is usually a NEXT-to-last resort, with the LAST resort usually being drilling/grinding/blasting the broken easy-out along with the remains of the brokem bolt itself. Wheoever named those things "easy-outs" should be shot! ;) -Joe Kuchan >I just finished installing a new water pump, wow what a pain in the >rear end. It took me three full days.
