"The comment about easy-outs is dead on. Has anyone ever had these damn
things actually work? Every time I've used them, they turn a bad situation
worse. Those new Sears extractors that fit in your drill are just as bad."
I have found the most effective method, although somewhat destructive, is to
fusion weld another bolt to the recalcitrant one
After a suitable period of soaking the thread with CRC 5-56 you can apply a
wrench and gently unscrew it.
If the weld breaks, re-do it and the extra heat is more than likely enough
to free everything up.
One use of an easy-out which I got to work perfectly, was to extract the
Residual Pressure Valve from a brake M/C rear circuit.
When converting a drum rear to disc, this little sucker if definitely OFF
the team!
